About this study

Objective : To explore the diagnostic contribution of the 18F-FDG-PET/CT in a population of patients with classical fever of unknown origin (FUO), to precise its place in the diagnostic decision tree in a real-life setting and to identify factors associated with a diagnostic 18F-FDG-PET/CT.

Methods: All adult patients (age≥18 years) with a diagnosis of classical FUO who underwent a 18F-FDG-PET/CT in the University Hospital of Montpellier (France) between April 2012 and December 2017 were included. True positive 18F-FDG-PET/CT which evidenced a specific disease causing FUO were considered to be contributive.

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?

the diagnostic contribution of the 18F-FDG-PET/CT (time frame: day 1). 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.
