About this study

Official title: Risk Factors for Colonization and Infection With Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Among Patients With Severe Intraabdominal Infections (IAI). An Open Observational Study

The objectives of the study were:

  1. To study risk factors for colonization and infection with antibiotic resistant bacteria among patients with severe IAI before and after antibiotic treatment and surgical intervention.
  2. To study species changes in the rectal flora among patients with severe IAI before and after antibiotic treatment and surgical intervention.
  3. To review guidelines for antibiotic use in participating units.
  4. To evaluate surgical antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment in relation to risk for colonization and infection with antibiotic resistant bacteria among patients with severe IAI
  5. To use the results from the study in the process of a more appropriate use of antibiotics in participating units and care of patients with severe IAI.
  6. To study the dynamics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing and wild-type Enterobacteriaceae in patients with suspected severe intra abdominal infections before, during and after antibiotic treatment.
Read the detailed description

In order to evaluate if standard empirical treatment was adequate in relation to resistance pattern among most prevalent species at admission we need another 70 patients to be included with at least data and cultures from admission.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary End points for detection of AB-R Colonising index: (a) Proportion of patients colonised with AB-R strains per bacteria species.(b)Proportion of colonising cultures containing AB-R strains per bacteria species.

    Measured: 48 hours - 2 weeks after end of antibiotic treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Proportion of patients with SSI other postoperative infections caused by AB-R strains, per infection type and per bacteria species.

    Measured: 48 hours - 2 weeks after end of antibiotic treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections, run by University Hospital, Linkoeping.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary End points for detection of AB-R Colonising index: (a) Proportion of patients colonised with AB-R strains per bacteria species.(b)Proportion of colonising cultures containing AB-R strains per bacteria species. (time frame: 48 hours - 2 weeks after end of antibiotic treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2009.
