About this study

Official title: The Impact on the Hospital's Microbial Ecology Follow the Introduction of Ertapenem and Other Newly Introduced Antibiotic, Using Antibiotic Utilization and Hospital Susceptibility Data Over Time

This is a retrospective, multicentre, observational study to assess the trends in antibiotic utilization and hospital ecology with respect to susceptibility patterns of selected bacterial isolates to the utilized antibiotics.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective, multicentre, observational study to assess the trends in antibiotic utilization and hospital ecology with respect to susceptibility patterns of selected bacterial isolates to the utilized antibiotics.

There will be two sets of data collected: Hospital acquired infection (only the first pathogen cultured of each episode) and All infection (the whole hospital susceptibility data)

Primary Objectives:

  1. To study the impact of the introduction of ertapenem on the susceptibility pattern of various pathogens to imipenem/meropenem.
  2. To study the impact of the introduction of ertapenem on the susceptibility of all Gram negative bacilli to antimicrobial agents commonly used in the participated study sites.
  3. To explore the trend in antimicrobial utilization before and after the introduction of new antimicrobial agents to the hospital formulary during the index period.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To study the trend of antimicrobial susceptibility to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae during the index period
  2. To study the impact of the introduction of other newly introduced antibiotics (e.g., tigecycline) on the susceptibility pattern of various pathogens to carbapenems
  3. To study the prevalence and trend of Pan drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant during the index period

Exploratory objectives:

  1. To explore the resistant rates of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, Pan drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in different hospitals after adjusted DDD.

Hypotheses:

  1. There will be no increase in the utilization rates of other antibiotics, specifically the other carbapenem drugs (imipenem, meropenem) in the index period (2-3 years before and 2-3 years after the introduction of ertapenem).
  2. The introduction of ertapenem to the institution formulary will not negatively impact the susceptibility of selected bacterial isolates to the other carbapenem antibiotics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infectious Diseases, run by Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan.

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 12 inclusion and 0 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 4 Jun 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?

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.

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 4 Jun 2012.
