Exposure to NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and Severity of Community-acquired Bacterial Infections

Completed
Conditions
Bacterial Infection
Registration Number
NCT02794831
Lead Sponsor
Nantes University Hospital
Brief Summary

* NSAIDs are widely consumed, and some are currently available for self-medication with indications 'Pain and Fever' (Cavalié, National Agency for Drug Safety (ANSM), 2014)

* There is no recommendation to limit their use in bacterial infections except for chicken pox in children.

* To date, no study has highlighted the aggravating role of exposure to NSAIDs on bacterial infections in adults, based on the usual septic severity Levy's score (SSS), and mortality, but it delays adequate antibiotics (Legras, Critical Care, 2009)

* Community-acquired bacterial infections in adults exposed to NSAIDs are serious by their spread (multiple locations), and suppurative character requiring frequent use of invasive procedures such as surgery or drainage. The SSS does not reflect the seriousness of these infections. They are frequently associated with use of ibuprofen (63.4%), and self-medication practices (65.5%).

The main hypothesis is that NSAIDs exposure is associated with a specific severity of community-acquired bacterial infection, marked by dissemination, suppurative complications or even invasive procedures requirement.

Our objectives are also to:

* Describe what NSAID use terms are associated to the risk of serious bacterial infections: molecule, dosage, duration of exposure, access (prescription or self-medication), associated drugs.

* To determine what type (s) (s) of bacterial infection is worsened by exposure to NSAIDs.

* To determine if other risk factors contribute to severity of bacterial community acquired infection

* To describe hospital costs associated to such severity of bacterial infection

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
exposure to NSAIDsFrom the inclusion (J0) to the the end of hospital stay, up to three months

The risk studied is the exposure to NSAIDs, the overall medication history will be collected for cases and controls. The standard questionnaire to document medications history, including self-medication, was previously published (Asseray et al., 2013) The window of exposure to drugs is defined as 14 days before hospital admission. Drug exposure will be assessed at the time of inclusion.
