Filter by:This study aims to develop and validate the first set of patient-reported outcome measures for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI): the Recurrent UTI Symptom Scale and the Recurrent UTI Impact Questionnaire. These tools could be used in clinical practice, clinical trials and research to gather an insight into a patient's perspective of their recurrent UTI symptom severity and its impact on their life, as well as determining any possible improvement or other change in their condition due to interventions (e.g. antibiotic treatment).
INVICTUS PED primary objective is to show the non-inferiority of an empirical antibiotic therapeutic management guided by the early detection of integrons in the urine, compared to a usual empirical antibiotic treatment, for the recovery of children admitted to the pediatric emergency department (ED) with a non-severe urinary tract infection (UTI) with fever
Phase 2, randomised, double-blind,double-dummy study in hospitalised adults with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis.Treatment duration for each cohort was 7 to 14 days. Patients were not permitted to switch to oral therapy.
Investigation of 1. The incidence of symptomatic bacteriuria during four weeks after removal of an IUC in inpatients at a rehabilitation clinic for patients ≥ 65 years compared with the incidence of symptomatic bacteriuria among inpatients not treated with an IUC and 2. For how long does ABU persist in inpatients at a rehabilitation clinic for patients ≥ 65 years during a follow-up time of four weeks after IUC-removal?
The aim of this study is to detect early renal dysfunction that may occur during the surgical procedure in geriatric patients who will undergo laparotomy surgery. In elderly patients undergoing surgery, accurate estimation of organ function is often not possible. Accurate measurement of kidney function is vital to the routine care of patients. Determining kidney function status can predict the progression of kidney disease and prevent toxic drug levels in the body.The biochemical marker creatinine, found in serum and urine, is widely used in the estimation of GFR. Although glomerular filtration rate decreases with aging, creatinine also decreases in the elderly due to muscle loss. Even moderately elevated blood creatinine may be indicative of severe kidney failure. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) is the volume of blood plasma cleared of creatinine per unit time. It is a fast and cost-effective method for measuring kidney function. Creatine is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate found in skeletal muscle. Its production in the body depends on muscle mass. The CrCl ratio approximates the GFR calculation as it freely filters the glomerular creatine. High serum creatinine levels and decreased CrCl ratio are usually indicators of abnormal kidney function.One of the markers of acute kidney injury is to look at plasma NGAL values. Plasma NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin) increases in response to damaged kidney status and can predict acute kidney injury as an early marker. Data on investigating plasma NGAL values as a predictive biomarker of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing non-cardiovascular surgery are very limited NGAL is produced from the epithelium of kidneys, lungs, colon, liver, adipose tissue, and inflammatory cells. NGAL is elevated in serum and urine after acute tubular injury, making it possible to diagnose kidney damage within 2 hours of injury. However, the increase of other traditional markers such as creatinine may be delayed for up to 48 hours after acute kidney injury.To determine the roles of primary outcome serum creatinine, creatinine clearance rates and plasma NGAL levels in the diagnosis of acute renal failure
Primary objective: is evaluation of the investigational product's safety and evaluation of its effect, in combination with antimicrobial treatment, on urine culture (microbiological cure, no microbial growth on 24-48 hrs culture). The secondary objective: is evaluation of the investigational product's effect, in combination with antimicrobial treatment, on disease related symptoms (Clinical cure, disappearance of symptoms and signs).
Urolithiasis is one of the most prevalent urological diseases affecting general population across the world. The available treatment modalities for renal stones are Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PNL), and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS). Irrigation for RIRS is the critical component for the success of procedure. To avoid detrimental effects of high pressure, intra-renal pressure (IRP) has to be lower. Different studies have shown that high irrigation pressure raises intra-renal pressure leading to pyelo-venous and pyelo-lymphatic reflux which can lead to sepsis and septic shock. Comparative study of different irrigation pressure during RIRS is lacking. This is randomized controlled trial conducted in Department of Urology and Renal Transplant Surgery for duration of one year. Objective of the study is to compare safety and efficacy of gravity irrigation versus pressure irrigation. Patients with symptomatic kidney stones: non lower pole stones <2cm, lower pole stones <1cm and lower pole stones 1-2 cm in whom PCNL is contraindicated will be enrolled in study with informed consent. Retrograde intrarenal surgery will be performed as standard procedure and Ho:YAG laser will be used to fragment stones. Stone free rate at postoperative day 1 and after 1 month will be monitored through X-ray KUB. Maximum irrigation pressure, duration of surgery, stone size, density, location, intraoperative and postoperative complications as classified by Clavien-Dindo will be noted for all patients. Data will be appropriately analyzed and statistical tests applied as necessary.
