Chinese Hospital Acquired Pneumonia Collaboration Network: Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Treatment (CHAPTER)

August 31, 2023 updated by: Jieming QU, Ruijin Hospital

A Prospective Study on Pathogen Investigation, Risk Factors, and Prognostic Factors Analysis of Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP)

The goal of this prospective and observatory study is to learn about the pathogen, clinical manifestations, prognosis, treatment and antibiotic resistance of bacteria in hospital-acquired pneumonia patients in China.

The main purposes of this study are:

  1. clarify the regional differences and changes over time in the pathogen spectrum and antibiotic resistance rate among HAP patients in China;
  2. build a continuously optimized nationwide HAP pathogen and antibiotic resistance surveillance network;
  3. identify the molecular epidemiology of common pathogens

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

hospital-acquired pneumonia adult patients with qualified evidence of responsible pathogen in China

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥ 18 years old.
  2. Meets the clinical diagnostic criteria for HAP in the 2018 HAP/VAP guidelines. Chest X-ray or CT shows new or progressive infiltrative shadows, consolidation shadows, or ground glass shadows, combined with 2 or more of the following 3 clinical symptoms, to establish a clinical diagnosis: 1) Fever, body temperature>38 ℃; 2) Purulent airway secretions; 3) Peripheral blood white blood cell count >10 × 10^9/L or <4 × 10^9/L.
  3. Having qualified evidence of responsible pathogen. On the basis of clinical diagnosis, one of the following conditions should be met simultaneously: 1) Qualified lower respiratory tract secretions (neutrophil count >25/low magnification field, epithelial cell count <10/low magnification field, or a ratio of the two >2.5:1), pathogenic bacteria cultured through bronchoscopy anti pollution brush (PSB), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lung tissue or sterile body fluid, and consistent with clinical manifestations; 2) Pathology, cytopathology, or direct microscopic examination of lung tissue specimens showing fungi and evidence of tissue damage; 3) The serum IgM antibodies of atypical pathogens or viruses change from negative to positive, or the titers of specific IgG antibodies in both acute and recovery phases show a 4-fold or more change. During the outbreak of respiratory viruses and with a history of epidemiological contact, respiratory secretions were tested positive for corresponding virus antigens, nucleic acid tests, or virus culture.
  4. obtained informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Those who cannot understand and execute the investigation plan.
  2. Active pulmonary tuberculosis;
  3. Severely immunosuppressed patients: absolute neutrophil count <0.5× 10^9/L, CD4<200/ml.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
mortality at day 28
Time Frame: 28 days after enrollment
prognosis
28 days after enrollment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
clinical characteristics
Time Frame: 0 day, 3 days, 7days, 14 days and 28 days after enrollment

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Estimated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 1, 2023

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
