About this study
The main purpose of this monocentric, non-interventional, prospective study carried out in acute geriatrics (UGA) and post-rehabilitation care, is to determine if eosinopenia is associated with bacterial infections.
Read the detailed description
It's a monocentric, non-interventional, prospective study carried.
At inclusion:
Non-opposition will be collected by the investigator upon entering the Geriatric Unit.
The investigators will have all the biological and radiological results and will decide whether or not to start antibiotic treatment.
Patients will be divided into 2 groups: group with bacterial infections and the other with non-bacterial diseases.
The patient's socio-demographic data, reason for hospitalization, history, BMI, state of dependence (ADL-IADL), MMSE, treatments will be collected. Biological examinations in the phase where an infection is not suspected will also be collected (NFS, ionogram, urea, creatinemia, albumin, pre albumin, CRP, hepatocellular workup. Clinical examination during the episode may be infectious as well that biological and radiological data will be collected as well as the diagnosis made.
Antibiotic treatment is prescribed will be listed. The blood levels of eosinophils between the two groups will be compared.
Follow-up at 1 month:
The effectiveness of antibiotics will be evaluated on the absence of inflammatory syndrome and fever after the recommended antibiotic treatment and the duration of the recommended treatment. Vital status will be collected.

| No bacterial infection | Patients without bacterial infection |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Determine if eosinopenia is associated with bacterial infections by measuring eosinophil counts.
Measured: 1 month
Secondary outcomes (4)
Determine if eosinopenia is associated with the effectiveness of antibiotics by measuring eosinophil counts.
Measured: 1 month
Determine if the eosinophil counts (PNE) / neutrophil (PNN)x1000 < 4 ratio is associated with a bacterial infection by measuring this value.
Measured: 1 month
Determine if eosinopenia is associated with mortality by measuring eosinophil counts.
Measured: 1 month

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?
Determine if eosinopenia is associated with bacterial infections by measuring eosinophil counts. (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT04363138, 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.
