BACTERIUM: Study for a Machine-learning-based Model to Predict Bloodstream Infections

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Infection, Bloodstream

In brief

An increase of healthcare-associated infections caused by multidrug- resistant organisms (MRDO) is currently observed. One of the main causes of the emergence of a MDRO infection is an overuse of antibiotics. Therefore, saving useless antibiotic treatment is currently a priority from a public health point of view. The evaluation of the risk of having a bloodstream infection will allow both activating faster treatment decisions (when the risk is significantly high) or to save useless resources in terms of diagnostic tests and treatments, also limiting the potential for side effects (when the risk is significantly low).
