What is being measured

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

  1. The overall target is to assess if the implementation of an active intervention program improves clinical management of the disease, according to existing recommendations.

    Identify evidence-based quality-of-care indicators (QCIs) for the management of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB).

    See secondary objective for the definitions of QCIs

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Follow-up blood cultures performance of control blood culture 48-96h.

    Description:Performance of control blood cultures 48-96 h after antimicrobial therapy was started regardless of clinical evolution

    Formula:Patients with follow-up blood culture collected×100/Patients alive at 96h.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Early source control

    Description: Removal of nonpermanent vascular catheter whenever the catheter was suspected or confirmed as the source of SAB, or drainage of an abscess in <72 h.

    Formula: Patients in which the amenable source was removed in<72h×100/Patients with source amenable of removal/drainage

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Echocardiography in patients with clinical indications

    Description: Performance of echocardiography in patients with complicated bacteremia or predisposing conditions for endocarditis.

    Formula: Patients with echocardiography×100/Patients with complicated bacteremia or predisposing condition for endocarditis,alive at 96h

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Early use of IV cloxacillin for meticillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus as definitive therapy

    Description: Definitive therapy with intravenous cloxacillin (at least 2 g every 6 h or adjusted based on renal function in renal failure) in cases of methicillin-susceptible strains (allergic patients excluded). Treatment should be started within the first 24 h after methicillin sensitivity was available. For hemodialysis patients, cefazolin 2 g after each hemodialysis session was acceptable

    Formula: Definitive therapy with IV cloxacillin×100/nonallergic Patients with methicillin-susceptible isolates.

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Adjustment of vancomycin dose according to trough levels.

    Description: Measurement of trough levels of vancomycin in patients treated for at least 3 d with this antibiotic and adjustment of dose in order to achieve plasma trough levels between 15 and 20 mg/L in survivors

    Formula: Patients with trough level of vancomycin determined and dose adjusted×100/Patients treated with vancomycin,at 3d.

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Treatment duration according to the complexity of infection.

    Description: Duration of antimicrobial therapy of at least 14 d for uncomplicated bacteremia and 28 d for complicated bacteremia. Sequential oral treatment with fluoroquinolone plus rifampin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or linezolid was considered accepted in selected case.

    Formula:Patients with appropriate duration of therapy×100/P alive at 14 or 28d in uncomplicated or complicated bacteremia

    Measured: 6 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza Progreso y Salud at 16 sites in Spain.

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 5 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Spain. 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?

The overall target is to assess if the implementation of an active intervention program improves clinical management of the disease, according to existing recommendations. (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01971762, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Dec 2014.
