View clinical trials related to Urinary Tract Infections.
Filter by:Patients seen in the ED with either a laceration, minor head injury, or urinary tract infection will be randomized to one of two groups. Both groups will receive the standard written discharge instructions; in addition, one group will watch video discharge instructions. Each patient will be asked to complete a short survey with questions related to the discharge instructions received in the ED, and will be called 5-7 days after the ED visit to ask questions about discharge instructions and the ED visit.
A randomized controlled trial looking at the effects of vaginal estrogen and a nonhormonal alternative on the vaginal and urinary microbiome in women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause.
The investigators propose a home hospital model of care that substitutes for treatment in an acute care hospital. Limited studies of the home hospital model have demonstrated that a sizeable proportion of acute care can be delivered in the home with equal quality and safety, reduced cost, and improved patient experience.
The study objective is to satisfy the testing requirements for the Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE Competition. This requires an oversight model using the Vitaliti CVSM Wearable, Vitaliti Spirotoscope, and Vitaliti IVD Station to continuously monitor the patient's five core vital signs and to detect the health conditions required by the competition.
The aim of this study is to determine if the Sharklet catheter, with its unique surface micropattern, reduces infections in participants, when compared to a standard silicone catheter.
Urinary tract infection due to Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing enterobacteriaceae (E-ESBL UTI) become a frequent problem. A too large variety in the prescription of antibiotics for E-ESBL UTI in children and absolute recommendations regarding the optimal treatment of E-ESBL is nearly impossible at this time. Our aim was to describe the characteristics and treatments of urinary tract infections caused by Extended spectrum betalactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in children.
This is a prospective, cross-over, randomized, controlled, partly blinded study evaluating safety and performance of noble metal alloy urinary Catheters (BIP Foley, Bactiguard AB) of both latex and silicone. The included patients are permanently catheterized spinal cord injured patients at the Spinalis clinic at Rehab station in Stockholm, Sweden. Primary Outcome Measures: • The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of long term suprapubic use of BIP Foley catheters, compared to the use of standard catheters for the same time period, on re-current symptomatic catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTIs). Secondary Outcome Measures: • to evaluate safety/performance of the catheter, i.e. antibiotic use, bacteriuria, bacteremia, urosepsis and ICU stay. Exploratory Outcome Measures: • assessment of levels of immunological markers in urine, urinary bacterial type and resistance pattern, catheter comfort, stability of the coating, and bacterial biofilm on the catheter surface after use.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is a condition in which bacteria are detected in urine culture without urinary symptoms. The inappropriate use of antibiotic treatment for AB selects bacterial flora to express resistance mutations. Reducing inappropriate antibiotic use for AB is difficult, since the microbiology laboratory cannot distinguish patients with AB. The investigators study will use a restricted laboratory report requesting the physician to call the laboratory for culture results. The restricted report may reduce the rate of inappropriate treatment of AB.
The study will be evaluating the efficacy and safety of a contrast drug in pediatric renal ultrasound.
The objectives of the Healthy.io Method Comparison and User Performance Study are: 1. To evaluate the performance of Dip.io Device in comparison to the ACON U500 Mission® U500 Urine Analyzer. 2. To evaluate the user performance of Dip.io Device under actual use conditions (home environment) based on a user questionnaire and rating scale.
