Evaluation of a Regional Electronic Health Information Exchange's Clinical Health Record

Impact of Health Information Exchange on Patient Care(Focus on Diabetes8 more

The Shared Health CHR™ (Clinical Health Record) offers point-of-care clinical reporting and decision support based primarily on patient claims data aggregated across various health care settings, and is one example of the types of health information data exchange efforts being implemented across the country. This study will evaluate how the CHR is used and its clinical and financial impact to better understand the CHR's value, and to identify opportunities to enhance the system to support patient care and practice efficiency. In addition, the results from this study will help to inform the national debate about the effectiveness of these types of tools to maximize patient quality of care, patient safety, and practice efficiency.

Cultures in PICU Patients Compared to Healthy Children

Ventilator Associated PneumoniaPneumonia1 more

This study is being done to determine if the bacteria found in your mouth (oral flora bacteria) in children admitted to the intensive care unit who need to be on a breathing machine is different from the oral flora in healthy children undergoing anesthesia for their dental caries. Children in the intensive care unit with a breathing tube are at a higher risk for getting a lung infection due to the bacteria in the mouth slipping into their lungs past the breathing tube over several days. This means that bacteria are found in the child's lung when this is normally not the case. If the bacteria in the mouth have changed from normal then they may get a pneumonia.

Use of TREM-1 Protein to Differentiate Viral and Bacterial Pneumonias in Intubated Children

Viral PneumoniaBacterial Pneumonia

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a protein called TREM-1 can be used to differentiate viral and bacterial pneumonias in children who are on ventilator support. We propose that the level of TREM-1 will be significantly elevated in the lung fluid of children with bacterial pneumonia and viral with co-existing bacterial pneumonia than in children with pure viral pneumonia.

SepsisInfective Endocarditis2 more

Current study evaluates the relationship between cell immunity and lipid transport systems in patients with severe bacterial infections (on the model of pneumonia, infective endocarditis, sepsis) in order to develop new methods for predicting the course and outcome of severe bacterial infections.

Surveillance of Hospitalised Pneumonia and Bacterial Meningitis in Tône District, Togo, 2010-2013...

PneumoniaBacterial4 more

The aim of this study is to estimate the burden of disease due to pneumococci, other bacteria and viruses in the African meningitis belt prior to pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction and to estimate the population impact of the vaccine after its implementation in 2014. In a defined population of a sanitary district in northern Togo, during the period 2010 to 2017, investigators enroll patients of all ages with suspected pneumonia requiring hospitalization or suspected bacterial meningitis. Patients are evaluated by bacteriology and molecular biology techniques on blood, cerebro-spinal fluid, nasal aspirates and by chest X-ray.

Development of Risk Score Model and Decision Tree Algorithm for Predicting Infections With CRKp...

Bloodstream InfectionPneumonia6 more

DETERMINE trial is a prospective multicenter multinational cohort study. This study will be carried out to predict the risk of bloodstream infections (BSIs) or other types of invasive infection with carbapenem resistant K.pneumoniae in patients being colonized by CRKp. The results of DETERMINE trial would be quite important to prevent unnecessary coverage of carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in empirical treatment of colonized patients. In this study, both risk score model and decision tree algorithm will be constructed and compared with each other in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value.

Pneumonia Due to Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia in ICUs

PneumoniaVentilator-Associated4 more

Pneumonia is a major cause of ICU admission, or may complicate ICU course. Among the causative pathogens, Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia is a rare pathogen, but affects usually patients with chronic pulmonary co-morbidities, or with long duration of mechanical ventilation and multiples treatment with broad spectrum antimicrobial therapy. However, there are only a paucity of data regarding epidemiology, impact and outcome of Pneumonia due to Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia in critically ill patients. Primary objective was to study factors associated with mortality in case of Pneumonia due to Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia. Secondary objectives were to describe factors associated with morbidity of Pneumonia due to Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia (duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay), and to report the characteristics of critically ill patients presenting Pneumonia due to Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia.

Epidemiology of Post-influenza Bacterial Pneumonia Due to a Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Positive...

InfluenzaStaphylococcus Aureus Pneumonia1 more

Secondary bacterial influenza pneumonia caused by Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Positive Staphylococcus aureus is a rare complication but with poor prognosis. This pathology seems to affect young patients (20-40 years) without any medical history. Since the influenza pandemic of 2009, this complication is more and more mentioned, sought and diagnosed. However, the literature is poor, consisting of case reports, experimental studies on murine models, and low-power studies. The main objective is to evaluate the mortality in intensive care units of patients post-influenza bacterial pneumonia due to a Panton-Valentine Leukocidin positive Staphylococcus aureus
