Short and Long Term Outcomes of Doxycycline Versus Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole for Skin and Soft...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus AureusSkin Infection

The purpose of this study is to compare how well two different antibiotics, doxycycline (DOXY) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), work at curing uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infection (uSSTI) such as 1.Boils (pus in the skin, also known as abscesses and furuncles) or 2. Infections that appear only on the skin surface (called cellulitis and erysipelas) that have pus.

Nurse-led Antimicrobial Stewardship Intervention to Increase Antibiotic Appropriateness in Residential...

Antimicrobial StewardshipUrinary Tract Infections2 more

The study will explore the impact of a nurse-led bundled antimicrobial stewardship intervention on the appropriateness of antimicrobial use in residential aged care facilities. The intervention will be assessed in a stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled trial across 14 residential aged care facilities over an 18-month period.

Reinforced PTFE Meshes Versus Customized Titanium Meshes

Surgical ProcedureUnspecified5 more

The objective of this study is to compare two surgical techniques for the treatment of the maxillary and mandibular bone atrophies.. Therefore, the main purpose is to compare the (i) the percentage of post-operative complications (ii) the three-dimensional bone gain with customized titanium meshes (test group - the medical device is digitally designed and made with customized laser sintering modality, customized to the defect of each patient) and with titanium-reinforced PTFE mesh (control group - the medical device is cut, shaped, and manually modelled to the patient's defect by the operator himself.

Discharge Stewardship in Children's Hospitals

PneumoniaBacterial5 more

The goal of this interventional study is to test if a discharge stewardship bundle is effective at reducing inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions at hospital discharge for children with the three common infections: community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), urinary tract infections (UTI), and skin/soft tissue infections (SSTI). The goals of this study are: To develop, locally adapt, and implement a discharge stewardship intervention across four geographically diverse children's hospitals. To measure the impact of the discharge stewardship intervention on antibiotic prescribing and patient outcome for three common pediatric infections. Families who are enrolled in the study will be asked to: complete a one question wellness track on days 3, 7, and 21 after hospital discharge complete a brief survey on days 7 and 21 after hospital discharge The study team will conduct interviews with the hospitalists at each of the four participating hospitals to create a "discharge stewardship" bundle. Once the bundle intervention is implemented, the hospitalists will be asked to follow prescribing guidelines for CAP, UTI, and SSTI. They will receive regular group-level feedback reports to show how well they follow the guidelines and motivate the hospitalists to follow the guidelines better.

Comparing Oral Versus Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy

Endovascular InfectionBone and Joint Infection4 more

This is an investigator initiated multisite pragmatic randomized controlled trial designed to demonstrate equivalent effectiveness with improved safety of early transition from intravenous (IV) antimicrobial therapy to complex outpatient oral antimicrobial therapy (COpAT) across various infectious diseases (endovascular, bone and joint, skin and soft tissue, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary infections). All patients referred for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) will be evaluated by the research team with respect to inclusion/exclusion criteria. If determined eligible for enrollment, patients will be approached by a study investigator who will present the COPAT Trial. Once informed consent is obtained, patients will be randomized 2:1 using computer software into experimental or control (standard of care) group, respectively: Experimental: COpAT only on hospital discharge; Control: Conventional OPAT, OPAT transitioned to COpAT later in outpatient setting, or long-acting parenteral lipoglycopeptides. Both groups will be followed by an ID physician on the research team with in-person or telemedicine ID Clinic standard of care visits at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after hospital discharge. At the 6-week ID Clinic follow-up, patients will be asked to complete a patient satisfaction survey. The following 2 primary outcomes will be assessed: cure at 3 months using clinical (resolution of infection) and laboratory parameters (improvement in inflammatory markers) and adverse events related to antimicrobial therapy/vascular access complication. The following 3 secondary outcomes will be assessed: overall readmission at 3 months, readmission related to initial infection or antimicrobial therapy/vascular access complication at 3 months, and patient satisfaction at 6 weeks. The experimental group is being compared to standard of care in current clinical practice. As this is a pragmatic clinical trial, patients will not undergo additional invasive testing or procedures.

Adjunctive Clindamycin for the Treatment of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections, a Randomized Controlled...

Skin InfectionStaphylococcal Infections1 more

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the effect of adjunctive clindamycin in the treatment of skin and soft-tissue infections due to Staphylococcus aureus in patients from Sierra Leone. The study hypothesizes that clindamycin, when added to routine treatment, will lead to a more rapid clinical resolution and less frequent recurrences of infection.

Anchoring Sequential Intermittent Long Acting Antimicrobials With Medication for Opioid Use Disorder...

Substance Use DisordersInfection4 more

Standard of care for patients with opioid use disorder and complicated infections is discharge to subacute nursing facilities on IV antibiotics until completion of treatment course. We aim to determine the efficacy of an alternative strategy using intermittent outpatient oritavancin therapy dosed weekly combined with initiation and continuation of medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder for completion of antimicrobial therapy in a 12 week prospective, open-label study. Patients hospitalized for a drug use related infection and thought to need prolonged parenteral antimicrobial therapy will be assessed by a substance use consultant and Infectious Diseases service. If they are not on Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), they will be assessed for initiation of MOUD. A collaborative multidisciplinary discharge planning process will be initiated and will involve linkage to care. If they have an infection with a gram positive organism, and are thought to be clinically stable for hospital discharge, they will be assessed for appropriateness for oritavancin and first dose will be administered prior to discharge. They will have an intake into an opioid treatment program where they can access collocated services and will be discharged with linkage to care through a peer recovery coach. They will be assessed in this collocated clinic post discharge for optimization of MOUD and progress of infection and subsequent dose/s of oritavancin will be administered. Patients will be followed for 12 weeks for cure/completion of therapy and MOUD outcomes.
