Overview

Investigate the epidemiology, risk factors and impact on clinical practice of healthcare-associated infections with emergent highly drug-resistant (eHDR) pathogens, particularly carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae and glycopeptides-resistant enterococcus.

Description

In 2022, a previous one-day point-prevalence multicenter study (NOSOREA2, NCT05547646) showed that most prevalent pathogens causing healthcare-associated infections were carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae. In 2017, (NOSOREA1, LA TUNISIE MEDICALE - 2018 ; Vol 96 (10/11)), most prevalent pathogens were non-fermenting pathogens.

Faced with this major epidemiological change within Tunisian ICUs, we decided to launch a 3rd survey under the aegis of the 'Association tunisienne de réanimation'. We aimed to investigate the epidemiology, risk factors and impact on clinical practice of healthcare-associated infections with emergent highly drug-resistant (eHDR) pathogens, particularly carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae and glycopeptides-resistant enterococcus. So we conducted a multicenter prospective collection that will take place over 2 months.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
