Invasive Fungal Infections Surveillance Initiative

Completed

Conditions studied: Fungal Infection

In brief

The purpose of this study is to optimize the management of patients treated for invasive fungal infections by establishing a real-time, continuous clinical data base that will capture and monitor trends in the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of invasive fungal infections; reflect routine clinical management of patients with invasive fungal infections in order to evaluate treatment and provide a rationale for future treatment paradigms; and allow physicians to assess adherence to institutional clinical practice guidelines, validate current standardized definitions for patients with invasive fungal infections and promote change where appropriate.
