About this study

Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage is a well-known risk factor for S. aureus surgical site infections (SSI). According to a recent study demonstrating 60% reduction risk of SSI due this bacterium after patients' screening and decolonization, recent French and WHO guidelines recommend in cardiac surgery the decolonization of nasal S. aureus carriers before surgery. In practice the decolonization procedures are not well-defined according notably to the duration and time of delivery before surgery and doses of topical antimicrobial drugs. The aim of the proposed study is to investigate the factors associated with failures of S. aureus decolonization: carriage state, compliance with treatment, S. aureus capacity of internalization in nasal epithelial cells, resistance to antimicrobial drugs used. This study will allow (i) to measure the frequency of patients with residual S. aureus carriage just before surgery, whatever they have been decolonized or not, (ii) to characterize the S. aureus nasal carriage state of patients before surgery, and (iii) to investigate the adding value of mupirocin dosage in the nose and urines of decolonized patients as a marker of compliance and efficacy of the decolonization process.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • decolonizationProcedure or surgery

    current practice : V1 : consultation to the service : nasal sample for all 5 days before surgery : order sent with decolonization procedure : nasal mupirocin, shower and mouthwash V2 : admission to the service : nasal sample for all and urine sample for decolonized patients V3 : nasal sample for all

  • compliance questionnaireOther

    We asked if the patient has done the whole decolonization procedure

What is being measured

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

  1. number of participants with failure of decolonization of nasal carriers of S. aureus

    These patients were screened positive for S. aureus in nasal swab culture collected during the preoperative consultation of cardiac surgery, who received a decolonization prescription and who are again detected positive in culture for S. aureus on the nasal collection performed on admission to the surgery department (just before surgery).

    Measured: just before surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Prevalence of nasal carriage of S. aureus just prior to cardiac surgery in all patients

    Measured: before surgery

  2. Prevalence of nasal carriage of S. aureus 3 months after cardiac surgery in all patients

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Correlation between nasal dosing of mupirocin and compliance

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Correlation between mupirocin urine metabolite assay associated with mupirocin nasal dosing and decolonization efficacy (failure or not).

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Staphylococcus Aureus, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2022. 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?

number of participants with failure of decolonization of nasal carriers of S. aureus (time frame: just before surgery). 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 11 Jan 2022.
