Invasive Group A Streptococcal Disease in a Spanish County Hospital
Invasive Streptococcus Pyogenes Disease: Epidemiology, Clinical Characteristics, Prognostic Factors, and Temporal Trends. A Retrospective Observational Study
The goal of this observational study is to describe how often invasive infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus) occurred, how they presented, how they were treated, and how patients did, in patients of any age treated at Hospital Residència Sant Camil between 2018 and 2024. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What was the annual incidence of invasive group A streptococcal disease between 2018 and 2024, and did it increase after the COVID-19 pandemic?
- What are the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of these patients, and how do they compare with the patients treated at the same hospital between 2008 and 2012?
- Which clinical factors are associated with in-hospital death and with admission to the intensive care unit?

详细说明
Invasive group A streptococcal disease (iGAS) is a severe infection with high morbidity and mortality, including bacteremia, necrotizing fasciitis, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, pneumonia, empyema, septic arthritis, and meningitis, with reported mortality of 10% to 20%. After a marked decrease in 2020 and 2021, surveillance systems reported a significant increase in cases in 2022 and 2023, which led to alerts from the World Health Organization, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and national authorities. Most evidence comes from national registries or tertiary hospitals, and data from Spanish county hospitals are scarce.
This single-center retrospective cohort study will include all episodes of iGAS diagnosed at Hospital Residència Sant Camil (Consorci Sanitari de l'Alt Penedès i Garraf) between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2024. iGAS is defined as isolation of S. pyogenes from a normally sterile site, necrotizing fasciitis with isolation of S. pyogenes from deep tissue, or streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (CDC criteria) with microbiological isolation of S. pyogenes. Cases will be identified from all positive S. pyogenes isolates in the Microbiology Service records, and data will be collected from the electronic medical record into an electronic case report form (REDCap): demographics, comorbidities, site and acquisition of infection, bacteremia, toxic shock syndrome, polymicrobial infection, antibiotic treatment, ICU admission, and in-hospital mortality. The expected sample is 60 to 70 patients.
Annual incidence will be calculated using the reference population of the health area as the denominator. The 2018-2024 cohort will be compared with the historical 2008-2012 cohort from a previous study at the same hospital using the chi-square or Fisher's exact test and Student's t or Mann-Whitney U test. Bivariate analyses will assess the association between clinical characteristics and in-hospital mortality and ICU admission.

计划共享个人参与者数据 (IPD)？
IPD 计划说明
IPD (without personal identification data) could be shared by requirement from other researchers after the end of the study, and only for research purposes and previous approval of promotor center of the study (CSAPG). Anyway, Spanish and European Union legal policy about data protection will strictly be followed (IPD will not be transferred outside European Union).
IPD 共享时间框架
After publication of main results of the study.
IPD 共享访问标准
IPD will be shared only for scientific research purposes and following the Spanish and European Union normative law about data protection. The requirements will be directed to the IP of the study. The IP will evaluate the request to verify and evaluate the data that is requested and the purposes for which it is requested. Next, the IP will transfer the request to the promotor center the study for the final decision.
