Trial summary

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is the isolation of a bacterium in a sample of urine appropriately collected from a person who does not have signs or symptoms of urinary infection. It is common in diabetic women, in pregnant women, in men over 60 years and in patients with spinal cord injury. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Three Different Times of Starting Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Patients With Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Scheduled for Urological Surgery. A Randomized Multicentric Clinical Trial

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is the isolation of a bacterium in a sample of urine appropriately collected from a person who does not have signs or symptoms of urinary infection. It is common in diabetic women, in pregnant women, in men over 60 years and in patients with spinal cord injury.

There is clinical evidence that AB should be treated in patients who will be operated on with urologic surgery because of the risk of presenting infectious complications; however, the timing of initiating antibiotic therapy has not been established, even in some studies the prophylaxis has been considered from one to seven days prior to the procedure, without determining the differences in the outcome for each one of the interventions and causing an undue and risky use of antibiotics.

A randomized, parallel-design, single-masked clinical trial will be performed to compare and analysis the bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, readmissions and hospital stay in three intervention groups, 1) those receiving antibiotics during the previous 5 days to the procedure; 2) 3 days prior to the procedure; and 3) those who receive only a single dose of antibiotic on the day of the procedure.

The main expected result is to identify the timing of initiation of antibiotic prophylaxis in urological procedures in patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria, with the purpose of diminishing the bloodstream and of the surgical site infections. If it is scientifically demonstrated that those patients who receive a single dose of antibiotic on the same day of the procedure, have the same safety and effectiveness compared to the other two groups, would reduce hospital stay, surgical waiting time and indiscriminate use of antibiotics that generate multidrug-resistant microorganisms, thus generating an impact on Public Health and on the quality of care.

    Prophylactic antibiotic during three days previous to the procedure.

  • Only a single dose of Prophylactic antibioticProcedure or surgery

    This group will receive a single dose of antibiotic 90 ± 20 minutes prior to the start of the surgical procedure (incision)

What is being measured

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

  1. Bloodstream infection

    An infectious process characterized by the presence of some bacteria in the bloodstream. The patient should have one or more positive blood cultures, where the cultured organism is not related to an infection elsewhere, and has signs of infection, such as fever, hypotension or tachycardia.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Surgical Site Infection:

    It can occur up to 30 days (or a year when a prosthetic component is involved) of a surgical procedure in some part of the body where it was manipulated in surgery. The SSI is classified as superficial, deep or organ space, depending on the type of tissue involved.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Length of hospital stay

    Difference in days between the date of discharge and of the surgical procedure.

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Re-entry to hospitalization

    Re hospitalization after the surgical procedure due to SSI or bloodstream.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prophylactic antibiotic during five days previous to the procedure, Prophylactic antibiotic during three days previous to the procedure and Only a single dose of Prophylactic antibiotic in people with Asymptomatic Bacteriuria and Antibiotic Prophylaxis, run by Jorge Andres Ramos Castaneda at 1 site in Colombia.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2018. 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 Colombia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bloodstream infection (time frame: 30 days). 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 24 Jan 2018.
