Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Clinical Outcome
Measured by: 1. Clinical features within 14 days of treatmnet:(improving/resolving/deteriorating) during therapy in OPAT eg dysuria,suprapubic pain, frequency, fever, urinalysis. 2. Clinical features of recurrences with 1 month after therapy completion 3. Presence of hospitalization and/or 4. Mortality
within 14 days of treatment and within 1 months after the treatment completion.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Microbiology outcome
30 days after completion of treatment
Interventions
Prescribed IV Ertapenem 1gm (or renally adjusted dose) will be administered every 24 hours. The duration of treatment will be determined by the clinician and this typically is 2 weeks, or as clinically indicated.
Eligibility Criteria
Adults OPAT patients diagnosed with complicated urinary tract infections and whom require IV Ertapenem will be enrolled over a period of 1-2 years.
You may qualify if:
- Adult patients between 21 years old to 70 years old.
- Diagnosed with complicated urinary tract infection due to pathogen susceptible to ertapenem based on microbiology report, and the use of ertapenem is deemed clinically appropriate by the Infectious Disease physician in charge.
You may not qualify if:
- Hypersensitivity reactions to Ertapenem.
- Participation in another interventional clinical investigation within 30days
- Unable to obtain informed consent.
