Trial summary

Many drug interactions with Warfarin are well documented in the literature, including interactions with a variety of antibiotics. However,in mamy cases it is difficult to predict when the interaction remains theoretical and when it becomes clinically significant and will be reflected in the individual patient.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of INR Prolongation in Patients Treated Simultaneously With Warfarin and Antibiotics From the Cephalosporins Family,Observational Retrospective Study.

Many drug interactions with Warfarin are well documented in the literature, including interactions with a variety of antibiotics. However,in mamy cases it is difficult to predict when the interaction remains theoretical and when it becomes clinically significant and will be reflected in the individual patient. This study's aim is to identify and characterize related conditions (including comorbidities, laboratory test results and other parameters related to the patient)that might be predictors for drug interactions turning from theoretical to clinically significant.

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?

Reasons for INR prolongation in patients who were treated with the combination of Warfarin and Cephalosporins (time frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of thei hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
