Active clinical trials for "Urinary Tract Infections"

The aim of this study is to determine if sampling technique of urine affects diagnostic modalities in primary care. Furthermore it aims to determine if there is difference in the accuracy of the point-of-care test, when the urine sample is stored at room-temperature and analyzed later in the day.

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common types of infections in older persons. The general aim of this study is to improve the epidemiological knowledge and develop a better diagnostic algorithm for urinary tract infections in older institutionalized individuals in order to reduce excessive prescribing of antibiotics and prevent antimicrobial resistance.

A multi-center, retrospective study of cases of serious bacterial infections including complicated Urinary Tract Infection (cUTI) or Acute Pyelonephritis (AP), Hospital Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP), Ventilator Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP), and/or bacteremia caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)

Objective: The study aim to establish high risk admission model and readmission model for elderly in Taiwan. Method: Investigators compare the clinical, epidemiological, and socioeconomic characteristics of admitted patients during 1 August,2011 to 31 July,2012. All patients will follow up to end of study to identify 14 days readmission and 30 days readmission to geriatic ward. Expected Outcomes: (1) To compare the prediction value of derivation cohort and validation cohort. (2) To identify high risk indicators of admission and readmission for elderly. (3) To determine the risk factors in admission elderly association with quality indicators.

The purpose of this prospective study is to investigate the association between the amount of residual urine and asymptomatic bacterial prostate infection with the occurrence of recurrent (>2 /year) symptomatic urinary tract infections in patients suffering from chronic (> 1 year) spinal cord injury (SCI) and neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction performing intermittent catheterization. The following hypotheses will be tested: The amount of residual urine after intermittent catheterization is significantly greater in SCI patients suffering from frequent (>2 /year) urinary tract infections compared to those without. The incidence of asymptomatic bacterial prostate infections is significantly higher in SCI patients suffering from frequent (>2 /year) urinary tract infections compared to those without.

Aim: to shorten the time of urination by bladder pressure stimulation in children less than 36 months of age who need urinalysis to exclude or diagnose urinary tract infections and to speed up the start time of antibiotics treatment or to eliminate the overcrowding of emergency room(ER) by shortening the time of ER stay.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of TrueLoo™, an Internet-connected smart toilet seat, in accurately monitoring and logging bowel movements and urinations of residents in senior living facilities across Northern California.

Retrospective study of patients with a proved non-tuberculous osteoarticular infection (OAI) diagnosed in a rheumatology department during the years 2010-2020. The objectives are : To describe sites, type of micro-organism, clinical data, origin of infection, therapeutic modalities et outcome To compare OAI of urinary origin with those with another origin

The prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria found in urine sample cultures has been increasing over the past decades. The study hypothesis is to assess the clinical and microbiological outcome of pivmecillinam treatment of ESBL producing E. coli and K. Pneumoni, as well as to observe the clinical and microbiological outcome of the same group of bacteria treated with other antiinfectious agents. Samples are gathered in primary care setting.

The purposes of this study are: To determine whether procalcitonin level at admission of pediatric patients with bacterial infections can be used as a marker for prediction of defervescence and hospitalization length To examine the kinetics of procalcitonin in pediatric patients with bacterial infections and persistent fever
