About this study

Official title: Frequency, Consequences and Determinants of Sub-optimal Care in the Initial Care of Severe Bacterial Infections of the Child

The aim of the study is to determine the frequency of sub-optimal care in the initial care (before arrival at the intensive care unit) of children from "West France regions" suffering of severe bacterial infections.The characteristic "optimal or not" of the initial medical care will be determined by 2 independent experts, blinded from each other and blinded from the issue of the care. In case of a discordance between the two experts, a third expert will be demanded. Three possibilities of conclusion will be proposed to the experts: "sure sub-optimal medical care", "possible suboptimal care" and "optimal care".

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Retrospective examination by experts whether care given fo child admitted at the ICU for suspicion of bacterial infection (not nosocomial) was optimal or notOther

    When child is admitted at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for suspicion of bacterial infection that is not nosocomial, data on child's infection and cares received, is completed on an electronic Case Report Form (e-CRF) by Doctor of ICU. Characteristic "optimal or not" of initial medical care is then determined by the independent experts blinded from issue of the care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of optimal care and of non optimal care in the initial care (before arrival at the intensive care unit) of children (from West France regions) suffering of severe bacterial infections.

    For each child medical file, the verdict "optimal care" or the verdict " non optimal care" will be determined by two independent experts, blinded from each other. If verdict base their judgement through recommendations listed in the literature.

    Measured: 1day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. characteristics of sub-optimal cares

    Experts will explain their verdict by answering to a list of questions. These questions will allow to identify and classify characteristics of defaults of cares .

    Measured: 1 day

  2. determinants of sub-optimal cares

    To identify determinants of sub-optimal cares (examples : place of medical care, qualification and experience of the Medical Doctor, moment of medical care.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. consequences of initial sub-optimal cares

    To identify consequences of initial sub-optimal cares on the outcome of children with severe bacterial infections (child death, etc).

    Measured: 1 day
