Filter by:Patients in the Intensive Cardiovascular Care Unit (ICCU) often present with cardiovascular disease (CVD) issues accompanied by various non-cardiovascular conditions. However, a widely applicable scoring system to predict patient outcomes in the ICCU is lacking. Therefore, developing and validating scores for predicting ICCU patient outcomes are warranted. The aims of the IndONEsia ICCU (One ICCU) registry include developing an epidemiological registry of ICCU patients and establishing a multicentre research network to analyse patient outcomes.This nationwide multicenter cohort will capture data from patients receiving cardiovascular critical care treatment in 10 Indonesian hospitals with ICCU facilities. Recorded data will encompass demographic characteristics, physical examination findings at hospital and ICCU admission, diagnoses at ICCU admission, therapy, intervention, complications on days 3 and 5 of in-ICCU care, in-hospital outcomes, and 30-day outcomes. The One ICCU is a large, prospective registry describing the care process and advancing clinical knowledge in ICCU patients. It will serve as an investigational platform for predicting the mortality of ICCU patients.
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 aims to develop a therapy for restoring the gut microbiome in infants born via CS. We will conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled feasibility trial to assess the ability of microbiome restoration by FMT and FVT in infants born by cesarean section.
This is a single-center, non-interventional, retrospective study of data, at the level of the individual without identification, extracted from medical records of adult patients undergoing a kidney transplant procedure after 1st from January 2018 until reaching the sample size enrollment (around 500 individuals); this refers to the period of verification of individuals' eligibility for entry into the study. Individuals under strategy preemptive patients who developed CMV infection/disease within 12 months after transplantation. The data will be collected from date of transplant (including pre-transplant clinical history) until completion of at least 12 months after transplantation, or until graft loss, or recipient death or loss to follow-up, when/if applicable.
About 10 people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and persistent Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) infection despite treatment will be screened to find out if their NTM infection has at least one mycobacteriophage that is effective in killing the mycobacteria. Individuals who are found to have at least one phage will be offered assistance in pursuing FDA approval for treatment via expanded-access Individual New Drug (IND) for compassionate-use. They will receive phage treatment for 1 year along with their guideline-based antibiotics for NTM. Individuals who are not identified as having a phage match will be followed as they continue to receive guideline based antibiotic therapy for 1 year. All subjects, including those who do not have a phage match will continue to be observed for the duration of the study, or about 1 year.
This study was set up because of an unusual increase in the number of cases of mycoplasma infections in France between June and November 2023. Clinical data from children with mycoplasma infections will be collected to characterise this infection and facilitate hospital management.
Severe bacterial infections are a worldwide scourge. However, the epidemiology of this type of infection varies over time. It is therefore essential to monitor them in order to prevent them more effectively. At this time, in France, no monitoring exists for this kind of infections.
Catheter dysfunction and infections are the most common complications observed among patients with dialysis catheters for long-term dialysis ( CDLD ) . They are causing a worsening of the morbidity and mortality of patients , loss of quality of renal replacement therapy , a reduction in the duration of catheterization , as well as increased spending related to health care. The use of anti- reflux ( Tego ® , ICU Medical , USA, distributed by the Laboratory Hemotech , FRANCE ) valves reduces the rate of dysfunction and infections CDLD( catheters for long-term dialysis ). Unpublished preliminary data suggest that these valves allow parallel use of interdialytic saline locks without increasing the risk of dysfunction. This strategy would therefore achieve significant savings usual interdialytic CDLD( catheters for long-term dialysis )locks ( including heparin) whose use is not devoid of potentially serious adverse events and whose health care costs have increased dramatically in recent years . Moreover, this would also produce savings in fibrinolytic treatment. A randomized controlled trial is needed to assess the effectiveness of TEGO ® valves in combination with saline locks on the risk of dysfunction CDLD(catheters for long-term dialysis ) .
The goal of this observational study is to investigate how bacterial populations from the intestine and mouth of patients change during the hospitalization period and evaluate if some populations of specific bacteria increase or decrease the risk of acquiring an infection or becoming colonized by pathogenic bacteria. Participants will have the following samples collected during enrollment: stool samples (maximum 2x/week), blood draws (1x/week), oral swab (1x/week).
We hypothesize that a multifaceted antibiotic stewardship intervention incorporating physician education, prospective chart review with antibiotic recommendation, and provision of follow-up by a multidisciplinary antibiotic stewardship team, is more effective than physician education and reminders alone in improving physicians' prescription of short-course and oral-switch antibiotic therapy for patients with bloodstream infections due to Enterobacterales (BSI-E). This study is to: 1. determine the effectiveness of a multifaceted antibiotic stewardship intervention in improving physicians' prescription of short-course antibiotic therapy for BSI-E 2. determine the effectiveness of a multifaceted antibiotic stewardship intervention in improving physicians' de-escalation to oral antibiotic therapy for BSI-E
