About this study

Continual surveillance of both community-acquired and nosocomial bloodstream infections for specific target organisms. Analysis of comorbidities, complications, bacterial resistance patterns, bacterial genomics (e. g. via WGS and MLST typing) for the determinants of clinical outcomes. The clinical outcomes are investigated both in the short-term (up until discharge) and the long-term (six months after index blood culture by standardized questionnaire). A predictive point-of-care score is to be developed based on these data to define high-risk patient populations requiring more intensive diagnostic and/or treatment regimens.

Multi-center BSI cohortPatients from six German study centers suffering from bloodstream infection caused by specific target organisms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Short-term mortality due to bloodstream infection

    Mortality due to bloodstream infection up to hospital discharge in association to causative species, resistance pattern, comorbidities, complications etc.

    Measured: From index blood culture to discharge, an average of 16 days

  2. Long-term mortality due to bloodstream infection

    Mortality due to bloodstream infection up to long-term follow-up after 6 months in association to causative species, resistance pattern, comorbidities, complications etc.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  3. Long-term morbidity due to bloodstream infection

    Morbidity as measured by the SF-36 questionnaire due to bloodstream infection after 6 months in association to causative species, resistance pattern, comorbidities, complications etc.

    Measured: At 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bloodstream Infection and Septic Shock, run by University Hospital Tuebingen at 6 sites in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Evelina Tacconelli, Prof. (004970712983685, Evelina.Tacconelli@med.uni-tuebingen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Short-term mortality due to bloodstream infection (time frame: From index blood culture to discharge, an average of 16 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jul 2018.
