About this study

Official title: Early Clinical, Laboratory and Microbiological Predictors of Treatment Outcomes Among Infective Endocaridtis Patients in a Tertiary-care Centre in Kerala

The investigators conduct a prospective observational study on consecutive patients being admitted to a tertiary care-centre with infective endocarditis. The investigators' primary aim is to identify baseline clincal, laboratory and microbiological predictors of in-hospital events, mortality and 6-month mortality.

Read the detailed description

Mortality and major complications among infective endocarditis remain high. In addition developing nations are crippled with a high incidence of culture-negative endocarditis and lack of wide availability of transesophageal echocardiography. We intended to identify predictors among admission clinical features, laboratory paramters and culture reports that can help risk stratify patients early in the course of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infective Endocarditis, run by Government Medical College, Kozhikode.

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 2 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 9 Jun 2015. 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?

In-hospital mortality (time frame: 30 days). 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 9 Jun 2015.
