Filter by:The investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between phosphate level and mortality using the 4C Mortality Score in COVID-19 patients who were followed up in the intensive care unit.
This cluster-randomized trial aims to compare the impact of different delivery approaches to azithromycin distribution on coverage, costs, and feasibility outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that door-to-door delivery will have higher coverage and costs and similar feasibility and acceptability compared to fixed-point delivery.
After 7 then 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine implementation in France in children, we will evaluate the impact of this vaccination on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We will describe the clinical characteristics of IPD, pneumococcus serotyping, underlying conditions and vaccination status.
Sepsis is the most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients and is associated with a high mortality rate. Currently there is no available specific treatment to prevent or treat AKI in this setting. Many experimental and clinical data suggest that Nicotinamide, a safe and inexpensive vitamin, could be effective to prevent major adverse kidney events during septic shock. The main objective of the study is to show the superiority of Nicotinamide supplementation compared to the placebo group, in patients with septic shock admitted to intensive care. A 15% reduction in the incidence of major renal adverse events at day 30 is expected in the "Nicotinamide" group.
Currently there is an important need to know the evolution, results and associated mortality of patients undergoing surgical intervention in Spain during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. With a national data collection, information could be obtained to guide the management of this group of complex patients operated on during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim of improving their treatment in the event of a second wave. The great spread of the virus and the difficulty in controlling it over time makes it a high priority for the scientific community in order to face new outbreaks. The national study "AEC COVID-19" is a collaborative study (in the style of those carried out at European level such as Eurosurg, Globalsurg, etc.) that aims to know the evolution, results and associated mortality of patients undergoing surgical intervention in Spain during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It is an observational study, with anonymized and coded data, which aims to demonstrate the following hypotheses: - Patients with COVID-19 have high mortality. - Patients with both oncological and benign pathologies have high morbidity. The situation / follow-up at 7 days and 30 days after the intervention will be included in each patient.
The LAKANA trial will assess the impact on mortality and other health outcomes of quarterly and biannual azithromycin mass drug administration (MDA) when delivered to 1-11-month (29-364 days) old infants in a high-mortality setting where malaria is holoendemic but there is also a functioning seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) program in place. The long-term goal is to more precisely define the role of mass azithromycin treatments as an intervention for reducing childhood mortality, and to determine the most effective treatment regimen. The main study hypotheses in terms of mortality effect are: i) Biannual azithromycin MDA to 1-11 month old infants reduces their mortality, ii) Quarterly azithromycin MDA to 1-11 month old infants reduces their mortality, iii) Quarterly azithromycin MDA has a bigger mortality effect than biannual MDA.
This is a prospective study analyzing the development of humoral immune response against SARS-Cov-2 in patients with previous Covid19: the aim is to compare the incidence, titration and evolution of IgG an IgM in a prospective cohort of liver transplant patients surviving to the first wave of Covid19, in comparison to not inmmunossupressed patients.
The MORDOR trial found that biannual distribution of azithromycin to children 1-59 months old reduced child mortality. The World Health Organization (WHO) released conditional guidelines for this intervention, which include targeting azithromycin distributions to children 1-11 months of age in high mortality settings.Targeting treatment to children 1-11 months old could reduce antimicrobial resistance by limiting antibiotic distributions while treating children at the highest mortality risk. However, this targeted intervention has not yet been tested. The AVENIR mortality/resistance trial aims to assess the efficacy of age-based targeting of biannual azithromycin distribution on mortality as well as determine the impact of age-based targeting on antimicrobial resistance.
This study systematically observes in a pragmatic trail under real world conditions the association between strategies of therapy (maximal therapy, withhold, withdraw) and treatment success in three endpoint related initial risk groups (high, intermediate, low risk) regarding three endpoints (burden, mortality and supply costs).
The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) during septic shock is frequent and is associated with a high mortality rate. The reason of this increased mortality despite the use of renal replacement therapy is still unknown. The deleterious effects of uremic toxins (solutes accumulating with the loss of kidney function) has risen for the last decade in chronic kidney disease patients. Among those solutes, indoxyl sulfate (IS) is associated with the development of cardiovascular complications and impairment of immune response. The role of uremic toxins and particularly IS in the prognostic of septic kidney injury is unknown. The investigators propose to analyze the relation between the serum concentration of IS and the mortality of patients hospitalized for a septic shock who developed an AKI.
