About this study

Official title: Etiology, Clinical Manifestations and Risk Factors for Community-acquired Pneumonia in Patients Admitted to Hospital

This is a descriptive clinical research aiming:

  • To describe the clinical spectrum and clinical characteristics of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) in patients admitted to hospital
  • To identify the etiology of CAP and the antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated organisms
  • To identify the risk factors that influence the severity of CAP
Read the detailed description

In Vietnam, the range and relative contribution of organisms causing CAP remain unclear, largely because diagnostic tools are limited and clinical research uncommon. An improved understanding of the risk factors, etiology and clinical outcomes of CAP in Vietnam would contribute to improved approaches to patient diagnosis and clinical management. This will be achieved by following the clinical and laboratory progress and treatment outcomes of in-patients diagnosed with CAP from admission to discharge. Comparative analyses will be between subgroups including survivor and non-survivor, severe CAP and non-severe CAP, known etiology and unknown etiology, SIRS, sepsis, severe sepsis and shock septic.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients who are stable at Day 3, 7 and 14

    • Criteria for clinical stability
    • Temperature < or = 37.8oC
    • Heart rate < or = 100 beats/min
    • Respiratory rate < or = 24 breaths/min
    • Systolic blood pressure > or = 90 mm Hg
    • Arterial oxygen saturation > or = 90% or pO2 > or = 60 mm Hg on room air
    • Ability to maintain oral intake
    • Normal mental status

    Measured: up to 14 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Day 14 mortality

    Proportion of patients who die at Day 14

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Length of stay (days)

    Length of stay from admission to discharge in days

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  3. Need for mechanical ventilation

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

  4. Length of ventilation time

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Community Acquired Pneumonia, run by Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, Vietnam at 2 sites in Vietnam.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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 30 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Vietnam. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Proportion of patients who are stable at Day 3, 7 and 14 (time frame: up to 14 days). 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 30 Sep 2016.
