A study on cost of antibiotic therapy

Recruiting

Conditions: Other specified sepsis,

Registration Number: CTRI/2019/08/020938

Lead Sponsor: Not Applicable

Brief Summary: The main objective of the study is to:

To study the impact of AMR on attributable cost and length of stay (LOS) in hospitalized patient. To develop predictive model for the outcomes in patients with Antimicrobial resistant infection. To assess the correlation between the antibioticâ€™s usage and bacterial resistance pattern in a tertiary care hospital setting.Total sample size would be 1320. Patient will be divided into 3 categories: Susceptible, Resistance, and multi-resistant group and the outcome of interest will be compared using various machine learning algorithms.

Currently recruited 142 patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Resistant bacterial species which caused the additional cost burden and LOS in patients.	Every 6 months the cost expenditure and length of stay will be analysed using data analytics techniques.
Difference in total spending to treat an infection and length of stay between three groups.	Every 6 months the cost expenditure and length of stay will be analysed using data analytics techniques.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Total antibiotic use and resistance pattern will be observed.	Every 6 months the pattern of bacterial resistance will be observed.
