Trial summary

Over the past few decades, a good number of studies with regard to coagulopathy and increased bleeding tendency which is defined as macro- or microscopic hemorrhage, declination of hemoglobin level, thrombocytopenia, and hypoprothrombinemia potentially caused by the use of antibiotics through a variety of suggested… Read more about this study

About this study

Over the past few decades, a good number of studies with regard to coagulopathy and increased bleeding tendency which is defined as macro- or microscopic hemorrhage, declination of hemoglobin level, thrombocytopenia, and hypoprothrombinemia potentially caused by the use of antibiotics through a variety of suggested mechanisms, including myelosuppression, immune-mediated destruction of thrombocytes and coagulation factors, and suppression of vitamin K epoxide reductase or vitamin K-dependent γ-glutamate carboxylase which may lead to inhibition of biosynthesis of coagulation factor II, VII, IX, and X, have been reported or published. Nevertheless, many of them are case-series studies or case reports with low level of evidence, and there have been no large-scale retrospective cohort studies regarding antibiotic-associated coagulopathy being published. Moreover, in addition to exposure to antibiotics, there are several risk factors, including severity of illness, hepatic or renal function, nutrition status, comorbidities such as cancer and hematologic disease, surgery or other invasive procedure, concomitant use of anticoagulants, NSAIDs, and salicylates, and age, which may exert influence on the function of the coagulation system as well. Therefore, the study aims to clarify the association between the use of antibiotics and the increase of bleeding tendency or the development of bleeding event and to identify possible risk factors of the increase of bleeding tendency or the development of bleeding event in patients receiving antibiotic treatment through the application of nested case-control design and the usage of both the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) and medical records in National Taiwan University Hospital during the time period from January, 1995 to December, 2013.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shu-Wen Lin, Pharm.D. (+886-2-3366-8782, shuwenlin@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

development of any bleeding episodes as confirmed by ICD-9-CM code or use of vit. K1, fresh frozen plasma, or coagulation factors II, VII, XI, X (time frame: within 7 days post antibiotics use). 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 1 Jan 2015.
