The current study examines the distribution of MDR organisms in VAP and its incidence and outcome.

Patient data will be collected using the hospital information system.', 'detailedDescription': "Introduction Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as an infection of the pulmonary parenchyma in patients exposed to invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h and is part of ICU-acquired pneumonia. VAP is one of the most frequent ICU-acquired infections. Reported incidences vary widely from 5 to 40%, depending on the setting and diagnostic criteria. VAP is associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. The estimated attributable mortality of VAP is around 10%.\n\nInvestigators will focus this study on the current understanding of the epidemiology and treatment of VAP caused by multi-drug resistant (MDR). Other conditions such as ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis are not detailed.\n\nThe MDR organisms are significant threats to the prognosis of the ICU patient. These organisms are usually acquired in hospitals due to multiple factors like antibiotic use, immunosuppression, prolonged stay in the hospital, etc. They are challenging to treat because of a limited number of newer antibiotics available for treatment. Understanding their distribution and sensitivity pattern may provide clues on how to deal with this significant problem.\n\nAim of the Study :\n\nThe current study examines the distribution of MDR organisms in VAP and its incidence and outcome.\n\nThe primary outcome is to find the distribution of MDR bacteria in VAP-positive patients\n\nThe secondary outcomes\n\n1. is to find the incidence of VAP in ICU patients.\n2. to find outcomes for VAP patients.\n3. to study the antibiotic sensitivity for VAP-causing organisms.\n\nInvestigators hope to formulate improvement strategies to minimize the incidence of MDR VAP, enhance ICU care, and reduce the incidence of VAP in ICU.\n\nMethodology\n\nStudy Population: General Adult (\\>13 years) ICU patients on ventilators at SQUH\n\nStudy Design and Methods:\n\nDesign: This is a single center retrospective cohort study.\n\nSample size: All ICU patients on ventilators fulfilling inclusion criteria during the study period starting from 1/04/2021 to 31/03/2022\n\nStudy Method:\n\nAfter obtaining ethical approval, all the patients admitted to ICU during the study period will be scanned for eligibility criteria. Patients with VAP will be studied using electronic patient records (EPR).\n\nDemographic Data: Age and gender of the patients will be recorded. Diagnosis Data: Positive respiratory culture for MDR, Treatment Data: Empirical antibiotics and treatment of VAP Microbiology data: sensitivity and culture reports Other data: VAP days, ventilator days, and outcome: extubation, tracheostomy, survival, death.\n\nJustification of the current study:\n\nIn this study, Investigators intend to determine the incidence of VAP due to MDR organism and associated outcomes. This will help in understanding VAP due to MDR organisms.\n\nData Management and Analyses:\n\nStatistical analysis: Database for the study sample shall be created in SPSS-23. Categorized variables shall be displayed as percentages using frequency tables and pie charts or bar charts, and continuous variables shall be shown as Mean ± SD and error bar charts.\n\nTo test the significance of association between categorized variables, Chi-square or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate, shall be used. To test the significance of the difference between the means of two groups, an independent sample t-test will be applied if the distribution pattern of the variable under study is normal, and in case of non-normal behavior of the data; the Mann-Whitney test shall be applied. Similarly, for comparing means of 3 or more groups, ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test shall be used depending on the distribution pattern of the study variable. A P-value of .05 or less shall be taken as significant.\n\nThe analysis results will be used in a suitable form for publication."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '13 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'All adult patients (\\>13 years) admitted to ICU on a ventilator at a tertiary level center were scanned.
