Trial summary

P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium known to be responsible for numerous healthcare-associated infections, particularly in intensive care units (ICU). The frequency of these infections seems to have increased during the first waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infections Among COVID-19 Patients in Intensive Care Units at Nancy University Hospital During the First Three Epidemic Waves: a Retrospective Study (Pyo-COVID-3)

  1. aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium known to be responsible for numerous healthcare-associated infections, particularly in intensive care units (ICU). The frequency of these infections seems to have increased during the first waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Identifying cases of co-infection and secondary infections with P. aeruginosa in patients with COVID-19 would provide a better understanding of the epidemiological evolution and characteristics of infected patients.

Treatment of P. aeruginosa infections requires the use of antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem, with an increase in resistance among P. aeruginosa strains. The misuse of antibiotics to treat patients can accentuate the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance, and failure to take account of resistance revealed by antibiograms can compromise patient recovery. Analysis of bacteriological results and patient medical records would enable a posteriori evaluation of the proper use of antibiotics (choice and adaptation of molecules, doses and duration of prescriptions), and identify any areas for improvement.

The main objective is to describe the evolution of P. aeruginosa infections in ICU patients with COVID-19 during the first 3 waves of COVID-19 (01/03/2020 to 31/05/2021). Secondary objectives are to describe the typology of P. aeruginosa strains identified among included patients (sampling sites and resistance profiles), to assess antibiotic prescriptions for these patients and to describe the relapse rate of included patients with a first P. aeruginosa infection.

What is being measured

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

  1. P. aeruginosa occurence

    The occurrence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection during the ICU stay of a COVID-19 patient.

    Measured: From 01 March 2020 to 31 May 2021.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. P. aeruginosa sample

    Distribution of different types of samples (respiratory, blood, urine, etc.) positive for P. aeruginosa.

    Measured: From 01 March 2020 to 31 May 2021.

  2. P. aeruginosa resistance

    The proportion of resistance to the various antibiotics tested on the P. aeruginosa strains identified.

    Measured: From 01 March 2020 to 31 May 2021.

  3. P. aeruginosa antibiotic treatment

    Compliance of antibiotic prescriptions with reference recommendations is assessed by comparing data from patients' medical records.

    Measured: From 01 March 2020 to 31 May 2021.

  4. P. aeruginosa recurrence

    Occurrence of a new P. aeruginosa infection.

    Measured: From 01 March 2020 to 31 May 2021.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and COVID-19, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2024. 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?

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?

P. aeruginosa occurence (time frame: From 01 March 2020 to 31 May 2021.). 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 7 May 2024.
