Filter by:This prospective observational study examines the associations of presence, duration, type, number and location of surgical drains with the risk of surgical site infections in a contemporary and multicentric cohort of general, orthopedic trauma and vascular surgery procedures.
This study evaluates antibiotic serum concentrations in correlation with perioperative fluid balance. Patients will be recruited in rectum and esophageal surgery (representative for low blood loss and restrictive fluid management) and in liver surgery (representative for high blood loss and liberal fluid management). The hypothesis is that high blood loss and liberal fluid management dilute antibiotic serum concentrations thereby potentially increasing surgical site infections.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chlorhexidine-impregnated disk in preventing catheter exit-site infection in peritoneal dialysis patients
This is a phase III, multi-center, randomized, active-comparator, study in subjects with ABSSSI. The study has two subgroups for assessment of efficacy and safety - oral subgroup 1 and IV subgroup 2. Each subgroup will comprise of two treatment arms.
For patients having a bone or joint infections, with or without device, optimal surgical therapy could be sometimes non-feasible, especially in the elderly population. Therefore, a medical therapy with oral prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy (PSAT) seems to be an option to prevent recurrence and prosthesis loosening. Subcutaneous (SC) administration of injectable intravenous antibiotics as prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy could be a convenient way when oral treatment is not available to facilitate ambulatory care, this practice being considered as routine care. The aim of this study is to evaluate tolerance and efficacy of subcutaneous administration of antibiotics for prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy in patients having this treatment as part of their routine care.
The traditional Chinese herbal medicine Triptolide Wilfordii has displayed remarkable effect on the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Now that immunosuppression therapy has recently become a new strategy for HIV infection, it's reasonable to expect the anti-inflammatory effect of Triptolide Wilfordii in HIV infected patients. So we designed a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to explore the efficacy and safety of Triptolide Wilfordii in new-onset HIV infection.
This study is designed to identify the burden associated with HIV and its treatment, and assess their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by measuring key HRQoL domains, including satisfaction with treatment and care, and internalised stigma (ISAT). The study will also explore data for various important subpopulations such as subjects who are virally suppressed; who we anticipate will be the majority of study subjects. The study design is an observational, cross sectional study employing subjects' own mobile phone devices for data entry.
An open label study will be performed on 80 people with HIV infection who are maintained on effective treatment with antiretroviral drugs.
Prospective randomized study comparing different colistin dosing regimens in paediatric cancer patient with MDR gram-negative infection or sepsis
The intention of the study is to explore metabolic and inflammatory parameters in the pelvis after abdominoperineal resection for locally advanced rectal cancer in patients that have received radiation therapy before surgery.
