What is being measured

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

  1. 1.Describe the distribution of causal pathogen of meningitis and bacteremia 2.Estimate the hospital admission rate of pneumonia patients 3.Estimate the incidence rate of IPD 4.Describe the serotype distribution of S. pneumoniae

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 1.CFRof patients admitted with IPD and/or pneumonia. 2.Antibiotic resistance rate of S. pneumoniae 3.Risk factor distribution 4.Average duration of the hospitalization of patients with IPD, meningitis, and/or pneumonia.

    Measured: 2-3 years

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?

1.Describe the distribution of causal pathogen of meningitis and bacteremia 2.Estimate the hospital admission rate of pneumonia patients 3.Estimate the incidence rate of IPD 4.Describe the serotype distribution of S. pneumoniae (time frame: 2 years). 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 27 Mar 2012.
