About this study

Official title: Observational Study to Assess Clinical Management Patterns in Patients With Hospitalised Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) or Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections (cSSSI)

This study will collect real-life data from patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) OR complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) to assess the burden of the disease, review the treatment pathways, evaluate how health resources are used and identify any areas of unmet medical needs. The aim of the study is to compare how patients who are admitted to hospital with CAP or cSSSI are managed across Europe. This will be done by collecting data to understand the patient and disease characteristics, current practice of treatment, and outcomes for the patient. Overall 4000 patients will be recruited from 10 European countries.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with infection resolution reaching clinical stability, as a measure of effectiveness

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

  2. Number of patients reaching clinical stability, as a measure of effectiveness

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

  3. Number of patients death, as a measure of clinical failure

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

  4. Number of patients with infection recurrence, as a measure of clinical failure

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

  5. Number of patients requiring change in antibiotic, as a measure of clinical failure

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of patients hospitalized with CAP or cSSSI, in each type of hospital and department, as a descriptive measure of burden of disease, and patient flow.

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31.

  2. Number and type of diagnostic tests, as measure of use of resources

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

  3. Type of medications used, as measure of use of resources

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

  4. Duration of hospitalisation, as measure of use of resources

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

  5. Number of patients requiring ICU / isolation / mechanical ventilation / complications, as measure of use of resources

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

  6. No. patients infected with MR-Staphylococcus aureus in cSSSI, or with PR-Streptococcus pneumoniae in CAP, not responding to antibiotic treatment, as measure of prevalence of resistant strains and of incidence of associated clinical failure

    Measured: Retrospective. Outcome measures will be determined in patients hospitalized between 2010-12-01 and 2011-01-31, from the date of hospitalization, up to the date of hospital discharge (2011-02-28 at the latest).

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2012. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?
