Trial summary

Acute bronchiolitis is a frequent respiratory viral infection of infants, responsible for 460,000 new cases per year in France. Over the years, the number of hospitalizations during the epidemic season appears to be increasing. Bronchiolitis epidemics lead to recurrent hospital disruption. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Design of an Organizational Infrastructure Pediatric Plan to Deal With Bronchiolitis Epidemics: Impact on Length of Stay and Quality of Care in a Tertiary Care Regional Hospital

Acute bronchiolitis is a frequent respiratory viral infection of infants, responsible for 460,000 new cases per year in France. Over the years, the number of hospitalizations during the epidemic season appears to be increasing. Bronchiolitis epidemics lead to recurrent hospital disruption. The current trend towards a reduction of hospital beds is exacerbating the pressure on bronchiolitis epidemics on healthcare systems.

In this context, the pediatric departments of Montpellier University Hospital, France, designed in 2014 a common organizational infrastructure pediatric plan (OIPP) to to adapt to these multiple constraints while respecting the quality of care.

This plan includes a referral flowchart for hospitalized children, an increase in medical and paramedical staff and a restructuring of the pediatric units, with a specific stratification into 4 levels of care.

The study aims to assess the impact of our OIPP on the overall length of stay for children hospitalized for bronchiolitis. The investigator also intend to measure the impact of the OIPP on the length of stay within each unit, the number of transfers from one unit to the other and the number of readmissions within 30 days after hospital discharge. The cost of the implementation of the OIPP in the structure will be analyzed.

Read the detailed description

The investigator compared data between two periods of time, e.g. the two consecutive years before the beginning of the OIPP (winters 2012-2013 and 2013-2014) and two first years after the beginning of the OIPP (winters 2015-2016 and 2016-2017).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiolitis, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 10 Sep 2018. 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 France. 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?

Overall hospital length of stay (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03663660, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Sep 2018.
