Multicenter Epidemiologic Study of Severe Community Acquired Pneumonia in China

Conditions
Community-acquired Pneumonia
Registration Number
NCT03728816
Lead Sponsor
Ruijin Hospital
Brief Summary

This study is aimed to understand the clinical characteristics, etiology and resistance phenotype of major pathogens of SCAP in China through multicenter and prospective investigation. Thus to provide epidemiological basis for improving the SCAP diagnosis and treatment protocol suitable for China.

Detailed Description

During the study period, all patients who are diagnosed with SCAP and meet the inclusion criteria in the participating unit should be enrolled in the study . At the end of the trial, each participating unit should complete at least 20 qualified cases, and all participating units should have a total of more than 300 qualified cases.

1. Learn about the etiology of SCAP in China.

2. Grasp the resistance phenotype and molecular epidemiology of major pathogens of SCAP in China.

3. Know the important clinical characteristics of SCAP in China, including age, basic diseases, length of hospital stay, length of stay in ICU, duration of mechanical ventilation, clinical manifestations, imaging findings, complications, mortality, etc.

4. Analyze and clarify the clinical risk factors of affecting SCAP mortality.

5. Understand the current situation of antibiotic treatment of SCAP in China.

Microbiological profile of urine specimensDay 0 of the study

Record the microbiological profile of urine specimens, including all the bacteria explored,especially legionella or streptoccus pneumonia.

Microbiological profile of serum specimensDay 0,14 days or 21 days of the study

Record the microbiological profile of serum specimens , including all the bacteria explored, especially legionella, mycoplasma, chlamydia.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
General conditions of the participantsDay 0 of the study

Record the general conditions of the participants when included in the study ,such as demographic , clinical symptoms and signs of the participants, legionella contact history , enrollment date, ICU admitted condition, comorbidities, prior antibiotic treatment and so on.

Inflammatory ParametersDay 0, 3 days of the study, and until the end of the study(approximately 1 year).

Record the levels of WBC, CRP, PCT of the participants.

Arterial Blood Gas analysis of the participantsDay 0 of the study

Record the arterial Blood Gas analysis(pH,PO2,PCO2 etc.) when included in the study.

Chest Image of the participantsDay 0 of the study

Record the chest radiograph of the participants when included in the study.

Pneumonia Severity Index of the participantsDay 0 of the study

Record the pneumonia severity index of the participants according to the PSI scoring system,which has been used to decide whether patients with pneumonia can be treated as outpatients or as (hospitalized) inpatients.

CURB-65 Score of the participantsDay 0 of the study

Assessment of consciousness, urea, respiratory rate, BP, and age 65 years score of the participants(Confusion-1,BUN\>7mmol/l-1,Respiratory rate≥30-1,SBP\<90mmHg,DBP≤60mmHg-1,Age≥65-1).The risk of death at 30 days increases as the score increases:0-0.6%,1-2.7%,2-6.8%,3-14.0%,4-27.8%,5-27.8%.

Prognosis of the SCAP participantsup to 3 days of the study and until the end of the study(approximately 1 year).

Record the prognosis(cure,improvement,invalid,recrudesce,death) of the participants through the study completion.
