Trial summary

Norwegian hospitals are struggling to control spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) in health care settings. Strict screening and isolation criteria are enforced in hospital, and patients previously infected by ESBL-E are regarded as possible ESBL-E carriers indefinitely. Read more about this study

About this study

Norwegian hospitals are struggling to control spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) in health care settings. Strict screening and isolation criteria are enforced in hospital, and patients previously infected by ESBL-E are regarded as possible ESBL-E carriers indefinitely. This observational multi-centre cross-sectional study aims to estimate the duration of fecal ESBL-E carriage and to assess the risk of ESBL-E resurgence during hospital stay for patients previously infected by ESBL-E. Through better knowledge of these risk factors, infection control procedures may be better tailored to rhe individual patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Antibiotic Drug Resistance, run by University Hospital, Akershus.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2024. 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 stopped early (reason given: Several sites did not manage to recruit patients.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

fecal carriage of ESBL-E (time frame: Baseline). 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 6 Feb 2024.
