About this study

Official title: Incidence and Risk Factors of Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Compared With the General Population

Study of incidence and risk factors of staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared with the general population in a nationwide cohort of all adult members of the population from 1996 until 2017 using national registries

Being tested
Risk factors in RA cohort, Risk factors in general population
Medical subject headings
Arthritis, Rheumatoid

What participants receive

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

  • Risk factors in RA cohortOther

    Also called DMARDs (biologic and synthetic), Corticosteroids, RA disease activity, RA disease duration

  • Risk factors in general populationOther

    Also called Prosthetic joints, Other comorbid conditions and surgical/dialysis procedures

Study groups in NCT03908086
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RA patientsIncident patients with rheumatoid arthritis as identified by the Danish National Patient Registry and the rheumatology registry, DANBIO.
Receives: Other: Risk factors in RA cohort
General populationAll other adults, as Identified by the Civil Registration System. Patients who develop RA contribute person-years in the general population cohort until RA diagnosis
Receives: Other: Risk factors in general population

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of staphylococcus aureus bacteremia

    Measured: 0-21 years

  2. Incidence rate ratios

    Comparing rheumatoid arthritis patients with the general population

    Measured: 0-21 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Risk factors of staphylococcus aureus bacteremia

    Identification of risk factors both universal to both the general population and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cohorts and RA disease specific factors (disease duration, disease activity, smoking, joint erosions, etc.)

    Measured: 0-21 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia, run by Sabine Dieperink.

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 2 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 9 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Incidence of staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (time frame: 0-21 years). The study lists 2 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 NCT03908086, 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 9 Apr 2019.
