Overview

Biomarkers for prognosis of patients with polyneuropathy.

Description

AIM: To investigate biomarkers' use as a prognostic tool in polyneuropathy patients.

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study of patients with polyneuropathy. METHODS: 200 patients with polyneuropathy will be examined with physical tests, medical examination, questionnaires, and blood biomarkers at baseline and at 1-year follow-up, and 2-year follow-up.

ANALYSIS: The investigators will calculate the odds of disease progression after 2 years depending on biomarkers levels at baseline using multiple logistic regression with sex and age adjustment. Diagnostic performance of the physical tests and biomarkers for prediction of disease progression will be assessed by Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve analysis with the area under the curve.

  • Diagnosed with polyneuropathy, confirmed by nerve conduction study.
  • Can read and understand Danish.

Exclusion Criteria:

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
