An observational study in Urinary Tract Infections, sponsored by Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Completed at 2 sites in United States. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2008-11-07.
Sponsored by Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center · Observational
This investigation is a epidemiologic case-control study of the risk factors associated with nosocomial funguria (fungi in the urine).
A recent large multi-center national surveillance survey of almost 5000 nosocomial (hospital based) urine isolates from medical intensive care units demonstrated that fungi comprised nearly 40% of urine isolates. Little is known about distinguishing fungi that cause colonization from those causing infection.
The objective of this study is to define the epidemiology of nosocomial funguria and natural history of patients that develop funguria while hospitalized.
Patients who may have eligible for this study will be identified from microbiology laboratory specimens at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
779 studies on the registry are indexed under Urinary Tract Infections; 132 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 919 is above the median of 200 across 193 observational studies indexed under Urinary Tract Infections.
