A Novel Approach to Antimicrobial Resistance: Machine Learning Predictions for Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella in ICUs

Turkey (Türkiye)289 participantsStarted 2023-12-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study to predict carbapenem resistant Klebsiella spp. earlier in our patients monitored in our Intensive Care Unit in the future, using artificial intelligence. Patients with bloodstream infection and pneumonia caused by Klebsiella spp. will be comparatively examined in two groups, as sensitive and resistant. Resistance will be attempted to be predicted with deep machine learning.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients monitored in our third-level intensive care unit between June 2017 and June 2023 will be evaluated retrospectively. Patients with pneumonia and bloodstream infection developed with Klebsiella spp. will be included in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under the age of 18 have not been included in the study. * Infections outside of the respiratory tract and bloodstream have not been included in the study. * Patients with respiratory tract colonization and without active inflammation have also not been included.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
