About this study

The main objective of this study and to know the incidence of healthy carriers of Staphylococcus aureus resistant méti- patients supported for fracture of the proximal femur .

This assessment will be made preoperatively by a nasal sampling and analysis through it by rapid Polymerase Chain Reaction method GeneXpert® .

Read the detailed description

There are 85,000 fractures of the upper extremity in France each year. This is a frequent pathology in fragile patients. The characteristics in terms of comorbidities, age, sex and survival are well known from the literature. While secondary mechanical complications to surgery, hovering around 6 to 8%, mortality at one year is very high (around 25%).

Postoperative infection after a fracture of the upper end of the femur ranges from 2 to 8% depending on the series. This complication is responsible for morbidity and excess mortality linked to the need for revision surgery, prolongation of hospitalization and antibiotic treatment.

In elective surgery, detection of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin is systematic and recommended in many countries, preoperative level of the nasal cavity. Parvizi then Goya believe that this port increased from four to nine times the occurrence of infection at the surgical site.

Various epidemiological studies have shown the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in over 30% of patients. This prevalence is lower in the French population. An estimated 70% the proportion of Staphylococcus aureus in the periprosthetic infections, and 30% related specifically to the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Today there is no consensus on what to have vis-à-vis the detection of a hand and the other hand treatment of patients.

The healthy carrier in the population overtake admitted to the trauma unit is unclear.

It is therefore necessary to know these effects among patients with multiple pathologies.

For methods of detection, the usual system and directed by swabbing and cultured with 90% sensitivity specificity of 100%. The demoyens existence of early detection as GeneXpert® Cepheid® lets get this result is in an hour with a specificity of 98% and a sensitivity of 100%.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GeneXpert® in people with Emergencies, run by University Hospital, Toulouse.

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 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2020. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin nasal carriage in the population supported to trauma emergencies (time frame: 12 months). 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 12 Nov 2020.
