Filter by:- Review key history and clinical examination findings of cases with CLABSI. - Microbiological diagnosis and Culture sensitivity tests by automated Bact Alert and Vitek2c systems for CLABSI. - Determine antibiotic biogram of each organism isolated - Determine the prevalence of occurrence of Primary or secondary Blood stream infection, causing microorganism, and predisposing factors.
Prospective observational study designed to describe the clinical, laboratory, imaging, microbiological characteristics and treatment of specific infectious diseases, with the addition of a dedicated biobank.
The goal of this observational study is to develop a risk prediction model for early-onset neonatal sepsis in term and late preterm neonates in Uganda and Zimbabwe. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the risk factors for early-onset neonatal sepsis in low-resource settings? - How can these be combined into a risk prediction model? Mother-baby pairs will be recruited in Uganda. They will have extensive data taken on their medical and obstetric histories and lifestyles, and their newborns will have a blood sample taken just after birth for culture. Machine learning techniques will be used to create the risk prediction model, which will then be validated in a second population in Zimbabwe.
The purpose of The Preeclampsia Registry is to collect and store medical and other information from women who have been medically diagnosed with preeclampsia or a related hypertensive (high blood pressure) disorder of pregnancy such as eclampsia or HELLP syndrome, their family members, and women who have not had preeclampsia to serve as controls. Information from participants will be used for medical research to try to understand why preeclampsia occurs, how to predict it better, and to develop experimental clinical trials of new treatments. The Registry will consist of a web-based survey and mechanism for collecting and reviewing medical records. This data will be utilized for immediate investigator-driven cross-sectional research projects (after proposal review by the Registry's scientific advisory board and as directed by the PI). Participants may also choose to be contacted regarding possible participation in future studies, about providing a biospecimen, as well as investigator-driven clinical trials. The Registry is anticipated to exist long-term and to serve as a foundation of participants from which to draw for studies of preeclampsia, anticipated to evolve as our scientific understanding of preeclampsia evolves.
PHAGEFORCE is a prospective, observational registry study. The University Hospitals Leuven has approved the application of phage therapy as standard-of-care only in patients for whom no curative treatment alternatives (antibiotic and/or surgical) are available ('last-resort cases'). A multidisciplinary phage task force, referred to as the Coordination group for Bacteriophage therapy Leuven (CBL) was set up. The CBL screens patients with difficult-to-treat infections, evaluates who could benefit from phage therapy and sets up the treatment protocol. With this study, the CBL aims to gain insight in the safety and efficacy of phage therapy by integrating and optimizing phage therapy in five distinct medical disciplines (with distinct routes of administration), facilitating long-term follow-up of patients. Furthermore, this study will gain insight in the biodistribution and exact mechanisms of action of phage therapy and thus be able to provide standardized guidelines for each patient population and route of administration.
The aim of this multicenter randomized clinical trial is to compare the tunneling technique of PICC insertion with the non-tunneled insertion technique in the incidence of the combined or isolated outcome of catheter-related bloodstream primary infection, thrombosis, obstruction, and accidental dislodgement in the adult population within a period of up to 30 days.
Researchers think acupuncture may improve outcomes for participants with sepsis, based on laboratory studies and previous studies in people with sepsis. The purpose of this study to see whether real acupuncture can improve outcomes for participants with sepsis when compared to sham acupuncture. Sham acupuncture is performed the same way as real acupuncture but will use different needles and target different sites or places on the body than real acupuncture.
This study is conducted in critically ill children with sepsis with a five years follow-up. We aim to investigate the impact of sepsis on long-term outcomes including growth, neurodevelopment, survival rate, quality of life.
This study is being done to determine if early administration of Midodrine can improve outcomes by maintaining a higher mean blood pressure off of intravenous medications. Researchers want to see if Midodrine can help people with sepsis need fewer vasopressors, which could mean shorter hospital stays, less time with uncomfortable tubes, and a smoother recovery overall.
Impaired fibrinolysis in septic patients is associated with worse outcome. The present study investigates fibrinolysis shutdown in septic patients, defined as prolonged ClotPro® TPA lysis time at 30 minutes. The TPA lysis time reference range is established in a cohort of healthy volunteers.
