Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include critically ill patients aged 18-99 admitted to the general intensive care unit who are treated with intravenous vitamin C.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not meet the inclusion criteria or have missing data will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the impact of vitamin C administration on triglyceride levels in critically ill patients. It aims to determine whether intravenous vitamin C can effectively lower triglyceride levels in patients admitted to the intensive care unit, particularly those with conditions that often lead to hypertriglyceridemia. The study will compare patients receiving vitamin C treatment to a control group not receiving the treatment, focusing on various factors such as age and duration of vitamin C administration.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new therapeutic approach to managing high triglyceride levels in critically ill patients.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that vitamin C can lower triglyceride levels in ambulatory patients, but this approach in critical care settings is novel and untested.
