About this study

Official title: Improvement of Diagnosis of Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) Based on Early Organ Dysfunction

The place of analysis of organ dysfunction in relation to the diagnosis of nosocomial pneumonia in intensive care is not yet defined.

Read the detailed description

New onset of pulmonary infiltrates, fever, and an increase in white blood cell (WBC) count accompanied by purulent tracheal secretions are clinically indicative of hospital-associated pneumonia (HAP). The low specificity and sensibility of diagnostic tests for HAP, however, tends to result in an extremely high incidence of missed diagnoses and may lay to high mortality.

The place of analysis of organ dysfunction in relation to the diagnosis of nosocomial pneumonia in intensive care is not yet defined, because early organ dysfunction may be the first symptoms noted by clinicians.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the ROC curve of the CPIS score

    The CPIS score is based on six variables:

    • Fever
    • Leukocytosis
    • Tracheal aspirates
    • Oxygenation
    • Radiographic infiltrates
    • Cult of tracheal aspirates

    Measured: the previous 12 hours up to performance of pulmonary bacteriological samples

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Area under the ROC curve of increased use of catecholamine and their positive and negative predictive values

    Sensibility (%) and specificity (%) increased use of catecholamine

    Measured: the previous 12 hours up to performance of pulmonary bacteriological samples

  2. Area under the ROC curve of increased need a volemic expansion and their positive and negative predictive values

    Sensibility (%) and specificity (%) increased need a volemic expansion

    Measured: the previous 12 hours up to performance of pulmonary bacteriological samples

  3. Area under the ROC curve of depletion inability and their positive and negative predictive values

    Sensibility (%) and specificity (%) of depletion inability

    Measured: the previous 12 hours up to performance of pulmonary bacteriological samples

  4. Area under the ROC curve of confusion and their positive and negative predictive values

    Sensibility (%) and specificity (%) of confusion

    Measured: the previous 12 hours up to performance of pulmonary bacteriological samples

  5. Area under the ROC curve of hepatic perturbation and their positive and negative predictive values

    Sensibility (%) and specificity (%) of hepatic perturbation defined by increased gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (CGT) and or alkaline phosphatase >1,5 N and or bilirubin >1,5 N or aminotransferase (AST or ALT >2 N)

    Measured: the previous 12 hours up to performance of pulmonary bacteriological samples

  6. Mortality

    Mortality during ICU stay

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated, run by Centre Chirurgical Marie Lannelongue at 1 site in France.

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 11 inclusion and 3 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 27 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

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?

Area under the ROC curve of the CPIS score (time frame: the previous 12 hours up to performance of pulmonary bacteriological samples). 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 NCT02683122, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Feb 2017.
