简要总结

Aims of the study

  • to evaluate the rate of enteric gram negative bacteria colonization in tracheotomised COPD patients
  • to evaluate the effect of azithromycin long-term treatment on Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization and colony counts, and on reduction of the number of exacerbations/hospitalisations, antibiotic courses and steroid use.
  • to evaluate the Quality of Life of patients treated and not treated with azithromycin, using a validate Italian version of St George questionnaire
  • to evaluate the rate of chronic colonization with atypical pathogens
  • to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a long-term treatment with azithromycin, including a survey on possible bacterial antibiotic resistance pattern variations
