Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Probability/rate of participants of developing antibiotic resistance in both treatment arms at 28 days.

    Measured by the appearance of new colonizations and/or infections by MDROs.

    28 days

Secondary Outcomes (24)

  • Probability of antibiotic resistance development during hospitalization in both treatment arms.

    During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28.

  • Rate of antibiotic resistance development during hospitalization in both treatment arms.

    During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28.

  • Rate of MDRO colonization during hospitalization and at 28 days in both treatment arms.

    During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28 and at 28 days.

  • Probability of MDRO colonization during hospitalization and at 28 days in both treatment arms.

    During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28 and at 28 days.

  • Rate of MDRO infection during hospitalization and at 28 days in both treatment arms.

    During hospitalization (until discharge), assessed up to day 28 and at 28 days.

  • +19 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Conventional antibiotic strategies

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control group will receive treatment according to the local guidelines of the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona.

Other: Conventional antibiotic strategies

Regimens guided by epidemiological surveillance

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group will receive treatment to the local guidelines of the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona guided by colonization/epidemiological surveillance.

Other: Regimens guided by epidemiological surveillance

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Cirrhotic patients with acute decompensation aged ≥18 years.
  • Proven or suspected bacterial infection requiring antibiotic therapy (diagnosis will be established according to local guidelines, Appendix 1).
  • Signed informed consent or consent given by their legal representatives or close relatives.

You may not qualify if:

  • Bacterial infection lasting for \> 48 hours.
  • Infection in a critically ill cirrhotic patient (ICU admission). In this population, epidemiological surveillance is standard clinical practice.
  • Evidence of current locally advanced or metastatic malignancy (patients with hepatocellular carcinoma within the Milan criteria and non-melanocytic skin cancer can be included).
  • Pregnant and/or breast-feeding woman.
  • Patients who cannot provide prior informed consent and when there is documented evidence that the patient has no legal surrogate decision-maker and it appears unlikely that the patient will regain consciousness or sufficient ability to provide delayed informed consent.

Masking Details
The study treatment is not blinded, however the rectal and nasal swabs of the control group will be blinded to the investigator and the participant. In all participants, microbiology department will immediately process the samples (swabs) in order to identify a potential colonization by MDR bacteria. Results will be available in the SAP system in patients randomized to the surveillance group but will remained blinded for the clinical investigators in the control group. Blinding will be broken when the patient completes the follow-up period (28 days).
