Mortality Related to AMR in Patients With Hospital-acquired Infection

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a prospective surveillance study to estimate excess deaths due to and risk factors associated with antibiotic-resistant infection among patients with hospital-acquired infection (HAI) in a resource-limited setting. We will focus on six pathogenic bacteria that are of clinically important in the hospital.

Detailed Description
-----------------
We will first identify patients with pathogenic bacteria isolated from clinical sample collected >48 hours after admission. These patients will then be screened for eligibility criteria. Signed informed consent will be sought from the enrolled patients. The primary outcome is survival status within 28 days since the first specimen culture positive for one of the six organisms of interest. All patients with hospital-acquired infection will be assessed for in-hospital 28-day survival as part of the routine hospital surveillance system. Follow-up to confirm 28-day outcome via telephone call will be performed only if patient signed informed consent and permission is granted. All isolates from positive cultures will be collected and stored securely. This study will not interfere with standard patient care or routine diagnosis procedure, hence subject will receive no direct medical harm or benefits from being in the study. Researchers of this study will not be involved in the management, care and treatment of study subjects. Patient care will remain under the responsibility of the attending medical staff according to standard practice of care. The study team will work closely with the hospital Infectious Control team to screen and enroll patients as part of the HAI surveillance data system in Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital. This study will be an enhancement of the current HAI surveillance system, which will provide data on 28-day survival status, Charlson Comorbidities Index (CCI) score and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score for each patient and risk factors related to acquiring hospital-acquired infection to the hospital Infectious Control (IC) team.
