Key requirements

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Statistical tests: Categorical variables will be expressed as a frequency and a percentage and compared with the chi-square test and the Fisher exact test when necessary. Quantitative variables will be expressed as median and interquartile range or mean and standard deviation. Assessment of normality and equality of variances for continuous data will be performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test and the Levene test, respectively. Thereafter, continuous variables will be compared by a Student t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or Fisher-Pitman permutation test as necessary. Multivariable Cox regression was fitted to examine the dependence of infective endocarditis on RRTs (haemodialysis, CVC [external or tunnelled], arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous graft, and kidney transplantation).

Who may be able to join

  • Incidence of infective endocarditis in ESRD that on hemodialysis.
  • Must be fit for Transoesophageal ECHO.

Who cannot join

  • Any patient with sepsis due to causes other than infected vascular access.

About this study

  1. To detect in more detail the incidence of infective endocarditis in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis.
  2. To compare the relationship between different forms of haemodialysis access type and the related incidence of infective endocarditis.
  3. To determine individual risk factors, including type of vascular haemodialysis access, previous valve lesion and immunocompromised patients.
Read the detailed description

All patients will undergo TTE and TEE within 36 hours of symptoms. TTE will be performed with a 2.5- or 3.5-MHz phased-array transducer. Patients will fast for more than 4 hours before TEE, which will be performed under local pharyngeal anesthesia; the majority of patients will also receive intravenous midazolam (0.5 to 2.0 mg). A 5-MHz phased-array transducer (either biplane or multiplane) will be used for the transesophageal examination, which consisted principally of two-dimensional imaging and color flow mapping and will be performed without any complications in all patients.

All echocardiograms will be evaluated later during reading sessions by two observers. TTE studies will be defined as technically inadequate if both observers deemed the quality of the images to be insufficient to gain diagnostic information regarding the presence or absence of vegetations or their complications. Findings on TTE and TEE will be separately categorized as indicating high, intermediate, or low probability for endocarditis as follows: high, any definite vegetation and/or abscess or probable vegetation with evidence of otherwise unexplained valvular dysfunction (greater than mild regurgitation or a paravalvular prosthetic leak); intermediate, a probable vegetation without evidence of unexplained valvular dysfunction; and low, no evidence of vegetation or abscess or a possible vegetation without any evidence of regurgitation. 3 sets of blood culture with one hour interval will be withdrawn from the central line from all patients, before stating antibiotics within 24 hours from the onset of symptoms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of infective endocarditis in end stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis

    by transesophageal echocardiography in Assiut university hospital. The endpoint was infective endocarditis diagnosed according to Dukes criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis (Roidad et al.,2010) by transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography and positive repeated blood cultures.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Infective endocarditis complications

    Secondary (subsidiary): Patients presented by infective endocarditis complications such as refractory heart failure, distal embolization, cerebral haemorrhage, pyrexia of unknown origin.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infective Endocarditis and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 31 Jan 2024. 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 Egypt. 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 infective endocarditis in end stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT05692089, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 31 Jan 2024.
