Fast Identification of Pathogen in the Setting of Hospital-acquired Pneumonia Using Ion Mobility...

Acute Lower Respiratory Tract InfectionPneumonia

With this study the investigators want to determine, if a fast identification of germs, causing hospital-acquired infections of the lower respiratory tract, is possible through the use of MCC-IMS technology - a method that allows on time detection and identification of very small amounts of substances in gas samples. Therefore aspiration samples from the respiratory tracts of ventilated patients, which are suspected to develop such an infection, will be collected, cultivated and analyzed by MCC-IMS. The investigators want to determine if MCC-IMS diagnostic could be a faster alternative to conventional microbiological methods. The results of the MCC-IMS analyses therefore will be compared with results of conventional microbiological methods.

Cost Study of Linezolid Versus Vancomycin Among Previously Hospitalized Patients

Complicated Skin and Structure InfectionNosocomial Pneumonia

This is a retrospective, observational, non-interventional drug study using de-identified data from two administrative claims datasets. The study design and analysis will reflect the perspective of the commercially insured. The objectives of this study are twofold: To compare the rates of re-hospitalization among patients treated with either linezolid orally or IV, or vancomycin IV for complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) or pneumonia hospitalization. To compare the total direct medical costs of patients treated with linezolid orally or IV, or vancomycin IV for cSSSI or pneumonia hospitalization.

The Role of Point-of-care Polymerase Chain Reaction in Managing Nosocomial Pneumonia

Nosocomial Pneumonia

The study compares a device that is used for the detection of bacteria and MDR pathogens from skin, soft tissue and nose with the gold-standard (microbiological lab). It is a novel use for this device because it has been used in samples from the lower-respiratory tract.

Clinical Characteristics and Microbiology of Healthcare Associated Pneumonia

Healthcare Associated Pneumonia

Background The prediction of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens is a key issue in the management of health-care associated pneumonia (HCAP). Multiple risk factors have been proposed, some of which overlap with items of the pneumonia severity index (PSI). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PSI and presence of MDR pathogens. Methods Patients who were admitted to a tertiary-care hospital from January 2005 to December 2010 were screened by a discharge diagnosis of pneumonia. Patients were enrolled if they fulfilled the definition of HCAP by 2005 ATS/IDSA guideline.

Drug Resistance Factors In Healthcare-associated Pneumonia

PneumoniaCritical Illness

Recently clinical guidelines categorize pneumonia in to three types: community, healthcare-associated, and hospital-acquired. Much of the existing research to describe the epidemiology of pneumonia in critically ill patients comes from single-center studies or from retrospective database analyses, which limit generalizability and lead to over-prescription of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. This will be a prospective, multicenter epidemiological study to characterize pneumonia epidemiology in critically ill adult patients.

Epidemiology of Risk Factors for Hospital-acquired Pneumonia (HAP) in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)...

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

A retrospective, observational study compiled data from all consecutively admitted patients older than 18 years at ICU University Hospital in Olomouc in the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2015 who fulfilled the criteria of HAP. The aim was to determine the severity of the specific risk factors of early and late HAP. Risk factors were divided into factors from the patient and from the hospitalization. Furthermore, an assessment of their relationship to mortality.

Use of Microscopy, Cultures and Molecular Biological Methods for Diagnosing Nosocomial Pneumonia...

Nosocomial Pneumonia

Nosocomial pneumonia in the Intensive Care Unit is often not properly diagnosed mainly due to ongoing antimicrobial therapy. The study investigates the feasibility of more advanced diagnostic technics.
