Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients having suffered from sepsis after cardiac surgery in a period between 2009 and 2019 will be evaluated.

Who may be able to join

  • adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Who cannot join

  • patients having active or previous endocarditis
  • patients whose causative microorganism of postoperative BSI was identical to that isolated from preoperative or intraoperative samples
  • patients with common skin colonized microorganisms, such as coagulase-negative Staphylococci, Viridans group Streptococci, Corynebacterium species, Bacillus species, Propionibacterium species, and Aerococcus species or Micrococcus species, which were isolated from only a single blood sample and without evidence of clinical sepsis, because contamination was considered.

About this study

This study is to analyse the demographics and microbiological factors concerning patients undergoing cardio surgical intervention using CPB complicated with bloodstream infection (BSI) postoperatively.

Read the detailed description

Infectious complications after cardiovascular surgery, especially in operations that use cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), is associated with significant morbidity and increase in peri-operative mortality. Prolonged CPB usage could be predictive for early bloodstream infection following cardia surgery. This study is to analyse the demographics and microbiological factors concerning patients undergoing cardio surgical intervention using CPB complicated with bloodstream infection (BSI) postoperatively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of bloodstream infection (BSI) in postoperative period (clinical evidence of sepsis with laboratory-confirmed bacteraemia from blood sample)

    Incidence of bloodstream infection (BSI) in postoperative period (clinical evidence of sepsis with laboratory-confirmed bacteraemia from blood sample)

    Measured: within 7 days after a cardiovascular surgery

  2. Extracorporeal circulation time during surgery (minutes)

    Extracorporeal circulation time during surgery (minutes)

    Measured: one time assessment at baseline

  3. In-hospital mortality (number) for patients with BSI vs those without BSI after a cardiovascular surgery

    In-hospital mortality is defined as death before discharge

    Measured: during hospital stay (usually up to 4 weeks)

  4. Surgical intervention rate (Incidence of cardiovascular re-operation) during the initial hospital stay (number)

    Surgical intervention rate (Incidence of cardiovascular re-operation) during the initial hospital stay

    Measured: during hospital stay (usually up to 4 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of cardiovascular events (stroke, myocardial infarction) during hospitalization

    Incidence of cardiovascular events during hospitalization

    Measured: during hospital stay (usually up to 4 weeks)

  2. Incidence of cardiovascular events (stroke, myocardial infarction) during follow-up

    Incidence of cardiovascular events (stroke, myocardial infarction) during follow-up

    Measured: after hospital discharge until follow- up assessment (up to 10 years)

  3. Incidence of cardiovascular re-operation during the follow up

    Incidence of cardiovascular re-operation during the follow up

    Measured: after hospital discharge until follow- up assessment (up to 10 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bloodstream Infection (BSI), run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 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 2 Nov 2021. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Incidence of bloodstream infection (BSI) in postoperative period (clinical evidence of sepsis with laboratory-confirmed bacteraemia from blood sample) (time frame: within 7 days after a cardiovascular surgery). The study lists 4 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 2 Nov 2021.
