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 diagnosed to have ESLD admitted to EL-Rajhi liver hsopital (Assiut university hopsitals) diagnosed to have infection at admission or develop infection during hospitalization

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with ESLD at Liver ICU. All patients have the diagnostic criteria for liver cirrhosis by clinical, biochemical, and ultrasonography findings. The severity of liver cirrhosis will be assessed according to the Child-Pugh classification and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score.
  • These patients are diagnosed as having infection at admission or acquire infection during hospitalization.

About this study

Official title: Patterns of Antibiotic Resistant Bacterial Infections in Liver Intensive Care Unit

the investigators want to identify the microbial profile, antibiotic resistant bacteria in hepatic patients with infections in Liver ICU, and explore risk factors and outcomes in those patients with antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Read the detailed description

Bacterial infection signifies major clinical challenge in cirrhotic patients where about 35% of these patients acquire hospital-acquired infections compared with 5% of other hospital in-patients without cirrhosis.It is associated with a mortality rate of 38% with a four-fold increase compared to individuals without cirrhosis.

Cirrhotic patients have a high risk for antimicrobial resistance because of chronic use of prescribed antibiotics like quinolones in secondary prophylaxis for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. In addition, undergoing invasive procedures and recurrent hospital admissions encourage both increased occurrence of antimicrobial resistance and the spread of resistant pathogens in these patients.

Epidemiology, risk factors and clinical outcomes of MDR infections have raised a special attention in cirrhosis. Some studies reported bacterial resistance in about 50% of examined patients and it is associated with treatment failure, septic shock and hospital mortality especially in nosocomial and healthcare related infections

Being tested
microbiological culture and sensetivity

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • microbiological culture and sensetivityDiagnostic test

    microbioloical culture will be used to detect microbiological profile in hepatic patients with infections, drug sensitivity to detect resistent bacteria which will be confirmed using PCR detection of resistent gene

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection of different bacterial causing infections in hepatic patients

    Bacteriological cultures will be performed with VITEK 2 COMPACT-15 automated system (bioMerieux Inc, Mercy L'etoil, Fransa).

    Measured: baseline

  2. To detect antibiotic resistant bacteria among these patients.

    molecular detection of genes responsible for antibiotic resistance using PCR for isolates bacteria

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Antibiotic Resistant Infection and Liver Cirrhoses, run by Assiut University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Karema Azoz Mostafa (+201018494961, karimaazoz89@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection of different bacterial causing infections in hepatic patients (time frame: baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03855709, 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 27 Feb 2019.
