Predictive models can be applied in different areas, during the emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic, in fact, they have proven important in supporting health systems in planning strategic decisions and in formulating health policies for the containment of the disease. The Covid-19 pandemic, in particular, has represented a real challenge for our healthcare system. In Italy, it was divided into four main waves, each characterized by different types of patients and different therapeutic approaches progressively improved based on new scientific evidence. The objective is to carry out a study on the data of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 at the ASST of Lecco during all four pandemic waves, with different degrees of severity of illness, collecting the data of interest and applying it to they use artificial intelligence to identify recurring patterns of clinical outcome in terms of survival and secondary infectious complications, so as to build new reliable predictive statistical models that can be used to predict the outcome of the patients themselves. The strong ambition of this project is that the application of artificial intelligence to data of such significant quantity can allow us to build valid statistical models which can then be hypothetically applied to any patient to predict, based on anamnestic characteristics, blood chemical parameters. at baseline and at the set treatment, the probability of survival and complications
FILTRex is a single-centre, controlled, randomised, prospective, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare the efficiency and safety of prolonged (72-hours) versus standard (24-hours) duration of use for Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME) filters in adult mechanically ventilated critically ill patients
To establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON® NES Flu A/B, RSV & COVID-19 assay for viral nucleic acid targets from professionally collected or patient self-collected dry nasal (NS) swabs and to establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON PLEX® RSP Flex assay from NS and nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) in applicable transport media from human patients exhibiting clinical signs and symptoms of a respiratory tract infection.
Respiratory diseases are associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Proper diagnosis and risk assessment of these conditions are essential for optimal management. Clinicians use three particularly useful tools to identify these conditions when assessing the patient's status: the stethoscope, the pulse oximeter, and the thermometer. The Pneumoscope is an all-in-one device including a digital stethoscope, a pulse oximeter, and a thermometer. This study aims to assess the performance and safety of the Pneumoscope in recording respiratory sounds, body temperature, non-invasive blood oxygen saturation levels and heart rate in children and adults.
Given the challenges of treating complex cases of VAP caused by P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae, TechnoPhage developed a bacteriophage cocktail (TP-122) against those pathogens, aiming to provide a hospital-based add-on therapy to the SoC including antibiotic therapy, administered by nebulization. TP-122 is a bacteriophage cocktail divided in two different components: TP-122A is comprised of three bacteriophages against infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and TP-122B includes three bacteriophages against K. pneumoniae . For this study, an effective sample of 15 subjects will be randomly allocated into two arms, in a 3:2 ratio, with 9 subjects receiving TP-122A, in addition to SoC, and 6 subjects receiving the SoC alone.
To determine if clinicians can safely reduce antibiotic exposure in children with medical complexity (CMC) who are diagnosed with pneumonia by implementing an intervention that bases total antibiotic duration on an individual's clinical stability.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of compound probiotic in shortening the course of illness in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, in comparison with placebo.
Respiratory tract infections are among the leading causes of death worldwide and many of these infections are preventable through vaccination. One of the most important bacteria from an etiological and mortality point of view regarding respiratory and systemic infections is the gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae. Four types of vaccines are currently available for this pathogen: three pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV13, PCV15, and PCV20) and one polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). In Italy, people over 65 years of age and people suffering from chronic pathologies with effects on the immune system would be advised to be vaccinated with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and with the polysaccharide vaccine as a second dose. However, there are no data available in Italy on vaccination coverage in these population categories and above all the vaccination rates in patients who have a history of an episode of invasive pneumococcal infection are not known. The aim of the study is to measure how many patients are vaccinated for S. pneumoniae after hospitalization for a systemic pneumococcal infection in order to understand patients' awareness of preventing this infection after receiving a first diagnosis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active drug) with a commonly used antibiotic in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (a specific bacterium) induced community-acquired pneumonia. The main question it aims to answer is: Is antibiotic treatment needed in Mycoplasma pneumoniae (a specific bacterium) induced pneumonia? Participants will receive either a placebo or a antibiotic treatment and track their symptoms and vital signs until they are healthy. Researchers will then compare the length of symptoms between the placebo and the antibiotic group.
