Infection

This trial tests a new model where patients with infections receive intravenous antibiotics at home instead of staying in the hospital. Nurses from a municipal response team visit the patient, while hospital doctors oversee the treatment remotely using telemedicine and welfare te…

This study looks at whether a special team of doctors and nurses can treat adults with suspected infections at home, instead of sending them to the hospital. About 500 people will be randomly assigned to either standard hospital care or home-based care from a mobile response team…

This study tests whether an iodine-coated barrier dressing applied before surgery can reduce bacteria around heart devices like pacemakers. About 390 adults having a device replacement or upgrade are randomly assigned to get the dressing before or after the incision. Researchers …

This study tracks 100 hospital patients with hard-to-treat bacterial infections who receive the antibiotic combination aztreonam-avibactam. Researchers will measure how often the infection clears up without needing more antibiotics. The goal is to see how well this drug works in …

This study tests different methods to stop the spread of dangerous bacteria in operating rooms and reduce infections after surgery. About 6,000 people having hip, knee, or spine surgery will take part. The goal is to find the best way to keep patients safe from infections.

This study looks at whether putting vancomycin powder directly into the joint during hip or knee replacement surgery can prevent infections better than standard IV antibiotics alone. About 1,800 adults having primary or revision joint replacement are being followed for two years.…

This study explores whether a genetic test (CYP2C19) can help doctors choose the right dose of the antifungal drug voriconazole more quickly. Patients starting voriconazole for an infection will give a blood sample for genotyping. The goal is to see if this personalized dosing re…

This study planned to use a machine learning algorithm to estimate blood potassium levels from a single-lead ECG in hospitalized patients. It was designed as a retrospective analysis of existing data from a home hospital program. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling …

This study aimed to see if a computer could learn to predict how long a patient would stay in a home hospital program. Researchers planned to use data from past patients to train the computer. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study looks back at 4000 patients who had a suspected viral infection of the brain or spinal cord. Researchers will analyze which viruses were found and how the illness progressed in different groups, including children, adults, and people with weakened immune systems. The g…

This study will enroll 40 children aged 8-18 with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) to see if infections trigger disease flares. Participants will use a mobile app to log symptoms like fever, cough, or sore throat in real time. The goal is to better understand the infection-flar…

This study looks at 120 adults getting a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to see how often infections happen and how their immune system changes after surgery. The goal is to find what makes some patients more likely to get infections. This research does not test a new treat…
