Clinical Trial Summary

Purpura fulminans (PF) is a rare life-threatening infectious disease characterized by the association of a sudden and extensive purpura together with acute circulatory failure. The mortality of PF has been reported to be as high as 50% in previous adult series. Additionally, patients surviving to the early phase of PF are exposed to a high risk of limb amputation. The hOPeFUL study aims at assessing the short and long term outcomes of adult patients admitted in the intensive care unit for a purpura fulminans.


Description:

Purpura fulminans (PF) is a rare life-threatening infectious disease characterized by the association of a sudden and extensive purpura together with acute circulatory failure. Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae are the most frequently involved microorganisms but other species (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Haemophilus influenzae…) have also been reported. Despite prompt antibiotics administration and intensive care management, the mortality of PF has been reported to be as high as 50% in previous adult series. Additionally, patients surviving to the early phase of PF are exposed to a high risk of serious sequelae related to extensive skin necrosis and acral symmetrical gangrene, which typically requires limb amputations, a potential source of severe handicap in these previously young and healthy patients. Although the clinical features and outcomes of PF have been well studied in the pediatric setting, the amount of available data for adult PF are scarce, often outdated and mainly limited to patients with meningococcal infections. The current study aims at assessing the short and long-term outcomes of adult patients admitted in the intensive care unit for a purpura fulminans. A large multicenter retrospective cohort will be built in order to assess hospital outcomes (i.e., mortality and amputations). Long-term outcomes, including health-related quality variables, will be prospectively assessed among survivors and compared to septic controls (i.e., patients having septic shock non-related to purpura fulminans).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Hospital mortality factors associated with hospital mortality (and rate of amputation in the hospital) will be identified using a polytomous logistic regression model day 60
Primary Rate of amputation in the hospital; factors associated with rate of amputation in the hospital (and hospital mortality) will be identified using a polytomous logistic regression model day 60
Primary Long-term outcome measure: Physical dimension scale of the SF-36 questionnaire This variable will be compared between patients with purpura fulminans and patients with septic shock non-related to purpura fulminans Within 6 years of hospital discharge
Secondary Mental component score of the SF-36 score This variable will be compared between patients with purpura fulminans and patients with septic shock non-related to purpura fulminans Within 6 years of hospital discharge
Secondary Activity of daily living (ADL score) This variable will be compared between patients with purpura fulminans and patients with septic shock non-related to purpura fulminans Within 6 years of hospital discharge
Secondary Hospital anxiety and depression scale This variable will be compared between patients with purpura fulminans and patients with septic shock non-related to purpura fulminans Within 6 years of hospital discharge
Secondary Impact of Event Scale This variable will be compared between patients with purpura fulminans and patients with septic shock non-related to purpura fulminans Within 6 years of hospital discharge
Secondary Physical dimension scale of the SF-36 questionnaire This variable will be compared between patients with purpura fulminans who were and those who were not amputated Within 6 years of hospital discharge
Secondary Mental component score of the SF-36 score This variable will be compared between patients with purpura fulminans who were and those who were not amputated Within 6 years of hospital discharge
