Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate whether albumin administration improves short-term survival in patients with advanced cirrhosis and bacterial infections other than Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP).
This study is conducted to determine and compare the effect of applying Povidone-iodine and Chlorhexidine solutions for perinea washing on bacteriuria rate and type in patients with urinary catheter in intensive care unit.
Acute illness is the most common presentation of children attending ambulatory care settings. Serious infections (e.g. meningitis, sepsis, pyelonephritis, pneumonia) are rare, but their impact is quite large (increased morbidity, mortality, induced fear in parents and defensive behaviour in clinicians). Early recognition and adequate referral of serious infections are essential to avoid complications (e.g. hearing loss after bacterial meningitis) and their accompanied mortality. Secondly, we aim to reduce the number of investigations, referrals, treatments and hospitalisations in children who are diagnosed with a non-serious infection. Apart from the cost-effectiveness, this could lead to less traumatic experiences for the child and less fear induction for the concerned parent. Finally, we aim to support the clinicians to rationalise their antibiotic prescribing behaviour, resulting in a reduction of antibiotic resistance in the long run.
Purpose So far anatomical abnormalities (mostly congenital) were, in the majority of the patients, associated with urinary track infections. In this study the researchers will try to investigate the role of TLRs as molecular interactions between bacterial virulence and host response. TLRs are important mediators in the development of the natural immunity against bacteria. They recognize microbial pathogen associated molecular patterns and alert the host's immune system to the presence of invading microbes
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and costs associated with the intravesical administration of combined hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulphate (CS) compared to the current standard management of recurrent urinary tract infections in adult women diagnosed with recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI).
This study will investigate the treatment of urinary tract infection in men. Specifically, the investigators are looking to see if shorter duration of antibiotics (7 days) is any worse than longer duration of antibiotics (14 days). The investigators will also study whether longer treatment leads to an increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria in the large intestine (colon), or an increase in drug side effects.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of eravacycline compared with levofloxacin in participants with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI).
This was a Phase 3 study containing a randomized open-label superiority cohort (Cohort 1) comparing the efficacy and safety of plazomicin with colistin when combined with a second antibiotic (either meropenem or tigecycline) in the treatment of patients with bloodstream infection (BSI), hospital acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) due to CRE. An additional cohort of patients with BSI, HABP, VABP, complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), or acute pyelonephritis (AP) due to CRE, not eligible for inclusion in the other cohort, were enrolled into a single arm (Cohort 2) and treated with plazomicin-based therapy. Therapeutic drug management (TDM) was used to help ensure that plazomicin exposures lie within an acceptable range of the target mean steady-state area under the curve (AUC).
Developed before the establishment of a structured process for drug assessment, nitrofurantoin is now being prescribed frequently given the rise in multi-resistant gram-negative pathogens. Doubts remain regarding fosfomycin's long-term clinical effectiveness. A randomized, controlled trial is needed to explore the clinical effectiveness and better define the side effect profiles of both nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin. This multi-center open trial will randomize 600 non-pregnant women at three international sites (200 each in Poland, Switzerland, and Israel) at increased risk for carriage of resistant uropathogens and with suspicion of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection to receive either oral nitrofurantoin 100 mg three times daily for 5 days or a single 3g dose of oral fosfomycin. Patients will be followed for clinical and bacteriologic response at days 14 and 28 post therapy completion. The study hypothesis holds that nitrofurantoin will be superior to fosfomycin in clinical efficacy at final follow-up.
This study was to determine efficacy of the non-returning catheter valve for reducing catheter associated urinary tract infection compared with conventional urine bag in critically ill patients.
