About this study

Antimicrobial exposure is known to reduce the selection for various drug-resistant organisms. Numerous studies have demonstrated the association between antimicrobial use and MDR bacteria detection. However, to the investigators knowledge, there is few data to support the concept that reducing antibiotic use actually leads to improvements in antibiotic susceptibilities. Moreover, antimicrobial stewardship was demonstrated to reduce MDRO and was strongly recommended in clinics. As the investigators know, antimicrobial overuse, which occurs commonly in China, induces a severe antibacterial resistance. China's Ministry of Health (MOH) has established a policy about the antimicrobial stewardship. To date, the investigators do not have published documentation the effects of this policy on multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) in critically ill patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of participates infection or colonization with MDRO in critically ill patients at ICU admission and discharge as a measure of effect of antimicrobial stewardship

    MDRO isolation from inclusion to the date of discharge of hospital, access up to 90 days

    Measured: up to 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis, run by Jianfeng Xie.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 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?

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 number of participates infection or colonization with MDRO in critically ill patients at ICU admission and discharge as a measure of effect of antimicrobial stewardship (time frame: up to 90 days). 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 NCT02128399, 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 1 May 2014.
