Determine if antibiotic prophylaxis with intravenous cephalosporin and aminoglycoside in patients with Type II and II open fractures is safe and effective.

Read the detailed description
  1. Determine the safety and efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in type II and II open fractures when using IV Cephalosporin and aminoglycoside.
  2. Identify the incidence of acute kidney injury.
  3. Identify the type and number of associated infections
  4. Identify the antibiotic resistance profile noted
  5. Identify any secondary infections at sites other than the fracture site

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Open Fracture, run by Olayemi Osiyemi MD at 1 site in United States.

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

Contact Paul Glickman (561-855-7871, pglickmn@tripleoresearch.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of fracture site infections (time frame: 30 days). 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.
