About this trial
The use of extracorporeal blood purification therapies (EBPT) is becoming increasingly widespread worldwide in everyday clinical practice, particularly in the critical care setting. Nonetheless, most of the clinical trials aimed at exploring the effect of EBPT on patients' long-term outcomes have failed to demonstrate consistent results regarding 28 day- or hospital- mortality rates. The aim of this observational prospective registry is to evaluate if there is a cluster of critically ill patients that mostly benefits from extracorporeal blood purification therapies with different EBPTs.
