Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with intestinal failure, characterised by a reduction in the guts capacity to absorb macronutrients and/or fluid and electrolytes below what is necessary to maintain health, and therefore parenteral support (nutrition and/or fluids and electrolytes) is required to sustain life. Patient initiated on Home parenteral support was entered into the Copenhagen Intestinal failure database, and thereby eligible in this cohorte study.

Who may be able to join

  • chronic intestinal failure dependent on home parenteral support and enrolled in the Copenhagen Intestinal failure database

Who cannot join

  • Never discharged on home parenteral support

About this study

Official title: Catheter-related Bloodstream Infections in Patients With Intestinal Failure Receiving Home Parenteral Support: Risks Related to a Catheter-salvage-strategy.

This is an observational study evaluating a catheter salvage strategy in relation to catheter-related bloodstream infections in patients with chronic intestinal failure dependent on home parenteral support. The study is confined to the period 2002 to 2016.

Read the detailed description

In chronic intestinal failure patients receiving home parenteral support (HPS), catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) frequently results in replacement of their tunneled central venous catheters (CVCs) which may lead to future loss of central venous access.

This observational study investigates the consequences of a catheter-salvage-strategy related to CRBSIs according to different causative microorganisms, and short- and long-term risk of recurrence of the CRBSI. The study is based on the Copenhagen Intestinal failure database, which is a web-based database with retrospective data collection performed by reviews of medical charts from all adult intestinal failure patients discharged with home parenteral support from the Department of Medical Gastroenterology, Rigshospitalet.

What is being measured

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

  1. new catheter-related bloodstream infections

    The occurrence of catheter-related bloodstream infection after either catheter salvaged (retained central venous catheter) or replaced central venous catheter (new central venous catheter)

    Measured: 2002 to 2016

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. recurrent catheter-related bloodstream infections

    A recurrent infection was defined as a CRBSI with identical microorganism and antibiogram occurring within 100 days of the previous CRBSI in a salvaged CVC.

    Measured: 2002 to 2016

  2. relapse catheter-related bloodstream infection

    A relapse infection was defined as recrudescence of the same causative microorganisms with identical antibiogram within 30 days of the previous CRBSI in a salvaged CVC.

    Measured: 2002 to 2016

  3. primary salvage rate

    The primary salvage rate was defined by the CVC status at hospital discharge. Because of the database setup and retrospective design of the study, all cases were included regardless of main reason to CVC removal (e.g. septic shock, severe sepsis, concomitant CVC problems and secondary or metastatic complications).

    Measured: 2002 to 2016

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intestinal Failure and Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection (CRBSI) Nos, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 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 Denmark. 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?

new catheter-related bloodstream infections (time frame: 2002 to 2016). 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 19 Jul 2017.
