About this study
Modification of the rendering of the antibiogram at the Strasbourg University Hospital in November 2019 with the appearance of the concept of "standard dose" or "high dose" sensitivity.
This modification seems to have favored an inappropriate overprescription of Meropenem (the only antibiotic made "at standard dose") in Pseudomonas infections sensitive to other beta-lactams.

In June 2021, it was therefore decided to mask sensitivity to carbapenems by default in the rendering of Pseudomonas antibiograms when the strain was sensitive to a narrower spectrum beta-lactam ("restricted" antibiogram).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of these changes in the antibiogram on antibiotic prescriptions.

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

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Modification of the rendering of the antibiogram at the Strasbourg University Hospital in November 2019 with the appearance of the concept of "standard dose" or "high dose" sensitivity.
This modification seems to have favored an inappropriate overprescription of Meropenem (the only antibiotic made "at standard dose") in Pseudomonas infections sensitive to other beta-lactams.
In June 2021, it was therefore decided to mask sensitivity to carbapenems by default in the rendering of Pseudomonas antibiograms when the strain was sensitive to a narrower spectrum beta-lactam ("restricted" antibiogram).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of these changes in the antibiogram on antibiotic prescriptions.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Pseudomonas, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2023. 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 France. 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?
Proportion of Meropenem prescriptions in Pseudomonas spp bacteraemia susceptible to narrow-spectrum betalactams (time frame: Files analysed retrospectively from June 1, 2018 to November 30, 2022 will be examined). 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 2 Nov 2023.
