About this study

The objective of this observatory is to provide a national database of infective endocarditis, informed by all volunteer centers, using a standardized case report forms.

Such an observatory will describe the clinical profile, microbiological, therapeutic and evolving of infective endocarditis (IE); analyze the risk factors for the disease and its prognosis factors of evolution; describe management practices; evaluate and compare in the real drug treatment strategies (including antibiotics) and surgical.

Read the detailed description

All the clinical, biological, microbiological and laboratory describing the history of patients and their evolution during hospitalization for infective endocarditis will be obtained from physicians supporting patients and recorded in an electronic case report form. Will include collected clinical characteristics (site, pre-existing heart disease underlying symptoms, complications), biological characteristics (dosage on admission and diagnosis), microbiological characteristics (identifying the genus and species of the microorganism responsible, sensitivity to antibiotics susceptibility testing and evaluated by determination of minimal inhibiting concentration (MIC), exhaustive search of the rare forms of endocarditis uncultivated microorganisms), an analysis of the gateways based on the causative organism; echocardiographic characteristics (number and size of vegetations, valvular damage, scalable: surgery, lethality) and therapeutic characteristics (antibiotic treatment, surgical).

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Nadine JUGE, PhD (n.juge@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

history of heart disease (time frame: inclusion). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03272724, which also lists 17 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.
