Filter by:The investigators established a first-ever convenient scoring system for clinicians to assess the risk of Postoperative infectious complications (PICs) for elderly patients. Our scoring system can aid in the early detection of potential risks for postoperative infections. Higher-score patients were more likely to experience postoperative infections.
This study intends to collect the clinical data of patients with Helicobacter pylori infection, and to observe and count the high-dose double therapy and the traditional quadruple / triple therapy ( i.e., esomeprazole + amoxicillin double high-dose double therapy and esomeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin + colloidal bismuth tartrate traditional quadruple therapy or Vonoprazan + amoxicillin double high-dose double therapy and Vonoprazan + amoxicillin + clarithromycin triple therapy ). The eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori was compared between the two different regimens respectively, and the efficacy, safety and compliance of different regimens were compared. It provides a new reference for clinical treatment of Helicobacter pylori, and has great clinical value and significance for simplifying the anti-Helicobacter-pylori treatment plan, increasing patient compliance, and exploring efficient anti-Helicobacter-pylori therapy suitable for the Chinese population.
There is controversy about the maximum number of elements to be included in a surgical site infection (SSI) prevention bundle and the possibility of its implementation at a multi-center level. This study analyzes SSI rates in colorectal surgery after the implementation of two preventive bundles. The investigators hypothesized that the thorough introduction of a well-designed large bundle of best practice preventive measures would result in good adherence and greater reduction of SSI rates after colorectal surgery.
Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in children is challenging in low and middle-income countries where access to TB culture and X-ray is limited. More than half cases of childhood TB remain undiagnosed every year. A delay in TB diagnosis can lead to an increase in preventable morbidity and mortality. This study aims to provide evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra in stools and urine for TB diagnosis in children.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the wound healing in the participants who underwent the clean surgical procedure, by applying honey dressing and common Iodine solution dressing, participants will have no other co-morbidities like Diabetes, Anemia, etc. which can make the results biased. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do the iodine solutions are enough to counter the infections caused by resistant strains of bacteria? - What is the efficacy and efficiency of honey dressing in wound care? Participants will be tasked to - Ensure strict follow-up in the hospital dressing room - Half of the participants will apply common iodine solution dressing and the other half will be applied honey dressing. Researchers will compare Iodine dressing (Control group) with Honey dressing (Experimental group) to see if Honey dressing is better in the prevention of post-surgery wound infection and if it is cost-efficient and its efficacy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the product in developing immune reinforcement that results in decreased susceptibility to respiratory infections of viral origin in children aged 3 to 10 years with a number of respiratory tract infectious events in the previous year greater than 4. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Has the number of infectious events been reduced from last year? - Does the severity of symptoms decrease with the use of the product? Participants will be treated for 4 months. Treatment efficacy will be evaluated by: - 2 scheduled visits with the investigating pediatrician (T0 - enrollment and start of treatment; T1- end of treatment). - Verification of progress during the study by scheduled telephone meetings. - The use of a diary where the patient or parent/caregiver will report all events (even mild) affecting the respiratory tract, taking care to fully complete the Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey for kids (WURSS-k) questionnaire.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, admission patterns for infections other than Covid-19 have changed dramatically among children worldwide. Particularly admissions due to respiratory infections and later invasive streptococcal infections have been well documented. However, few studies have compared rates af gastro-intestinal infections during the pandemic with the previous years. This study aims to compare the number and characteristics of children hospitalized with gastrointestinal infections before the COVID-19 pandemic, to the first strict lockdown in 2020 and to the second, less strict lockdown in 2021. A retrospective review of medical records will be performed, of patients aged 1 month to 5 years admitted with gastroenteritis at the pediatric department at Slagelse Hospital in Denmark over a period from 2017 to 2021.
Objectives: To identify the rate and predictors of procedure related infection, the most causative organisms and the effect on ICU stay and in hospital mortality. To show the validity of NEW score in predicting mortality. Methods: Prospective observational study of 1040 patients admitted to the ICU without any signs of infection. All patients were subjected to one or more of the most used procedures in ICU (Intubation & mechanical ventilation, Central line insertion and Urinary catheterization) for at least 48 hours. Then, they were followed for any signs of infection either clinically or laboratorial.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the risk factors of mortality for CRKP infected patients, and to compare the clinical outcomes between hvCRKP infection and cCRKP infection. The main question it aims to answer is • Whether hypervirulence would add value to cCRKP infection and cause worse outcomes? Participants data will be collected through medical records.
This study was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ascending multiple-dose-administration study. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of TNP-2092 Capsules in asymptomatic healthy subjects with Helicobacter pylori infection, and to explore the preliminary efficacy of TNP-2092 Capsules in eradicating Helicobacter pylori.
