Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

patients enrolled for mNGS testing

Arm Description

Patients with meningitis and/or encephalitis will be enrolled in this study in order to analyze the clinical utility of mNGS for pathogen detection. There is no control group for this study (Investigators will identify historical controls by retrospective chart review and clinical reimbursement documents).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Total Number of Cases With at Least One Provider Response
Investigators will evaluate impact of mNGS assay by clinician surveys and Clinical Microbial Sequencing Board (CMSB) feedback and discussion as measured by at least 1 provider response per case.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Clinical Outcomes: Time From Cerebrospinal Fluid Collection to mNGS Results
Investigators will review medical records to determine time of initial presentation and measure the time to mNGS results.
Clinical Outcomes: Length of Stay
Investigators will review medical records to determine length of stay including discharge to rehab facilities.
Clinical Outcomes: Final Diagnosis Category
Investigators will review medical records to determine final diagnosis after all diagnostic testing has been performed including metagenomic Next-Gen sequencing and autopsy where applicable.
Clinical Outcomes: Concordance of mNGS With Other Molecular Testing on Cerebrospinal Fluid Pathogens
mNGS findings were compared to conventional testing for concordance. Conventional testing included both tests that were ordered as part of each patients workup and those order to confirm mNGS findings on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aims to use a clinically validated metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) assay to provide a demonstration of precision medicine for diagnosis of acute infectious disease in hospitalized patients. From June 2016 to June 2017, 200 patients will be enrolled from multiple hospitals in California and outside of California. Patients will be evaluated to determine the impact on the mNGS assay on diagnostic yield, hospital costs and clinical outcomes.
Detailed Description
This study aims to use a clinically validated metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) assay to provide a demonstration of precision medicine for diagnosis of acute infectious disease in hospitalized patients, with the goal of directly impacting clinical care and improving patient mortality. This diagnostic test has been previously validated in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratory, the University of California, San Francisco Clinical Microbiology Laboratory. From June 2016 to June 2017, investigators will prospectively enroll 200 patients from multiple hospitals in California (University of California, San Francisco; University of California, Los Angeles; University of California, Davis; Children's Hospital Los Angeles) and outside California (Children's National Medical Center, Children's Hospital Colorado, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) for mNGS testing, and evaluate the impact on the assay on diagnostic yield, hospital costs and clinical outcomes.
