About this study

This is a systematic review and Meta-Analysis of interventions for implementation of Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines and their impact on compliance and mortality reduction

Read the detailed description

The implementation of the sepsis resuscitation bundle recommended by the SSC guidelines has been shown to increase compliance and reduce mortality in several settings. Different implementation strategies have been utilized, including education, posters, reminders, audit and feedback, paper-based and electronic sepsis screening tools, clinical pathway and sepsis response teams. Different studies showed a considerable variation effect on compliance and mortality.It has been suggested that implantation strategies vary in there effect from low impact for human-based interventions such as education and training, rules and policies, reminders, checklists and double checks, however, reaching high effect for system based interventions like automation and computerization and forcing function. However, this has not been studied in relation to the implementation of SSC bundle. As such, many projects continue to invest on low-impact interventions with modest change in compliance and mortality. Multiple interventions were adopted by different centers worldwide to implement SSC guidelines. These interventions vary on their level of compliance and outcomes. The effectiveness of intervention if system oriented is more effective than human oriented. The hierarchy of effectiveness assigning forcing function intervention on the top of the pyramid and the training and education on the bottom.

The investigators hypothesize that interventions system based interventions are more likely to be more effective in improving the compliance with sepsis resuscitation bundle and in improving mortality.

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of different interventions for implementation of Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines and their impact on compliance and mortality reduction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Septic, run by King Abdullah International Medical Research Center.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 21 Feb 2014. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) Guidelines Compliance and Mortality (time frame: 2002 - 2014 (12 years)). 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 21 Feb 2014.
