Study aim
-
Determination and comparison of the effect of curcumin supplementation on coagulation factors (Protein C, PTT), anti-inflammatory factor (TGF-β1) and simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II) in the curcumin supplement group and control group in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)
-
Design
-
The present study is a randomized, single blinded clinical trial of 32 patients aged 18-60 years with SIRS in ICU.Samples were randomly assigned to RAS software in one of two groups of curcumin supplementation and control.
-
Settings and conduct
-
After selecting samples from Imam Reza Hospital in Tabriz, patients are placed in one of the two groups of curcumin supplement and control. During the intervention on the first, fifth and tenth day of the study, the SAPSII questionnaire will be completed and 5cc blood will be taken from patients to examine the factors.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: Critically ill patients with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score of 15-30, Positive Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), Age over 18 and under 60, At least 10 days hospitalization in ICU, Patients who received enteral nutrition formula
Exclusion criteria: Parenteral feeding, Enteral nutrition and gavage formula intolerance, Patients expected to die within the next 24 hours, HIV positive, Pregnancy and lactation, ileus, Immune disorder, Diabetes melitus, Short bowel syndrome, Pancreatitis
-
Intervention groups
-
The intervention group will receive (two 80-mg capsules), 160 miligram per day curcumin, at least 1 hour away from the patient's formula (to avoid possible food-drug interactions) with the received fluids, and the control group will receive the usual formula without supplementation.

Main outcome variables
-
Assessment of coagulation factors (Protein C, PTT), anti-inflammatory factor (TGF-β1), and SAPSII
