About this study

Official title: The Burden of Clostridium Difficile Infection in Thai Population: the First Report in Southeast Asia by 2010 Nationwide Study

The authors retrieved in-patient medical data, including the expense, from the 2010 Thailand Nationwide Hospital Admission Database, which is part of the National Health Security Office (NHSO). The diagnosis of digestive diseases with any form of colitis listed in the causes, either as principal diagnosis or co-morbidity, coding by the ICD-10 was recorded. The inclusion criteria were: 1) diagnosis of enterocolitis due to Clostridium difficile (ICD10-A07); and 2) age of more than 18 years. If the data was incomplete, the case was excluded. The baseline characteristics, including age, sex, co-morbidity disease and history of endoscopy or surgery, were recorded. The burden of CDI was evaluated by length of hospital stay (LOS), mortality rate, and hospital charge.

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?

Death rate and length of hospital stay in CDI during admission (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Dec 2014.
