    Abstract Umbrella trials have been suggested to increase trial conduct efficiency when investigating different biomarker-driven experimental therapies. An overarching platform is used for patient screening and subsequent subtrial allocation according to patients' biomarker status. Two subtrial allocation schemes for patients with a positive test result for multiple biomarkers are (i) the pragmatic allocation to the eligible subtrial with the currently fewest included patients and (ii) the random allocation to one of the eligible subtrials. Obviously, the subtrials compete for such patients which are consequently underrepresented in the subtrials. To address questions of the impact of an umbrella design in general as well as with respect to subtrial allocation and analysis method, we investigate an umbrella trial with two parallel group subtrials and discuss generalisations. First, we analytically quantify the impact of the umbrella design with random allocation on the number of patients needed to be screened, the biomarker status distribution and treatment effect estimates compared to the corresponding gold standard of an independent parallel group design. Using simulations and real data, we subsequently compare both allocation schemes and investigate weighted linear regression modelling as possible analysis method for the umbrella design. Our results show that umbrella designs are more efficient than the gold standard. However, depending on the biomarker status distribution in the disease population, an umbrella design can introduce differences in estimated treatment effects in the presence of an interaction between treatment and biomarker status. In principle, weighted linear regression together with the random allocation scheme can address this difference though it is difficult to assess if such an approach is applicable in practice. In any case, caution is required when using treatment effect estimates derived from umbrella designs for e.g. future trial planning or meta-analyses.

    Abstract Introduction Severe COVID-19 constitutes a form of viral sepsis. Part of the specific pathophysiological pattern of this condition is the occurrence of cardiovascular events. These include pulmonary embolism, arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy as manifestations of extra-pulmonary organ dysfunction. Hitherto, the prognostic impact of these cardiovascular events and their predisposing risk factors remains unclear. This study aims to explore this question in two cohorts of viral sepsis–COVID-19 and influenza–in order to identify new theragnostic strategies to improve the short- and long-term outcome of these two diseases. Methods and analysis In this prospective multi-centre cohort study, clinical assessment will take place during the acute and post-acute phase of sepsis and be complemented by molecular laboratory analyses. Specifically, echocardiography and cardiovascular risk factor documentation will be performed during the first two weeks after sepsis onset. Aside from routine haematological and biochemical laboratory tests, molecular phenotyping will comprise analyses of the metabolome, lipidome and immune status. The primary endpoint of this study is the difference in 3-month mortality of patients with and without septic cardiomyopathy in COVID-19 sepsis. Patients will be followed up until 6 months after onset of sepsis via telephone interviews and questionnaires. The results will be compared with a cohort of patients with influenza sepsis as well as previous cohorts of patients with bacterial sepsis and healthy controls. Ethics and dissemination Approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (2020-2052-BO). The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at appropriate conferences. Trial registration DRKS00024162.

    Abstract Background Quarantine is one of the most effective interventions to contain an infectious disease outbreak, yet it is one of the most disruptive. We investigated the quarantine of an entire village to better understand risk communication requirements for groups. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, mixed-methods survey study on a single cohort of adult residents in Neustadt am Rennsteig, Germany, six weeks after the removal of a 14-day mandatory community quarantine. The survey response rate was 33% (289/883 residents). Findings Survey participants reported a lack of information on the quarantine implementation process. What authorities communicated was not necessarily what residents desired to know. While inhabitants used social media and telephones to communicate with each other, the official information sources were regional radio, television, newspapers and official websites. Public health authorities did not employ social media communication to engage with their communities. Despite a lack of information, the majority of respondents stated that they had complied with the quarantine and they expressed little sympathy for those who violated the quarantine. After lifting the quarantine, many respondents continued to avoid places where they suspected a significant risk of infection, such as family and friends' homes, doctor's offices and grocery stores. Interpretation The survey participants utilised existing social networks to disseminate vital information and stabilise its group identity and behaviour (quarantine compliance). The authorities communicated sparsely in a unidirectional, top-down manner, without engaging the community. Despite the lack of official information, the social coherency of the group contributed to considerate and compliant conduct, but participants expressed dissatisfaction with official leadership and asked for more attention. Conclusion Public health risk communication must engage with communities more effectively. This necessitates a deeper comprehension of groups, their modes of ...

    Abstract BackgroundSepsis survivors often suffer from new morbidities. Current rehabilitation therapies are not tailored to their specific needs. The perspective of sepsis survivors and their caregivers on rehabilitation and aftercare is insufficiently understood. We aimed to assess how sepsis survivors in Germany rated the suitability, extent and satisfaction with rehabilitation therapies that they underwent in the year following the acute sepsis episode.MethodsProspective mixed-methods, multicenter study among a cohort of adult ICU-treated sepsis survivors and their caregivers. Interviews were conducted 6 and 12 months after ICU discharge by telephone and comprised closed as well as open-ended questions. Primary outcomes were the utilization and patient satisfaction with inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation and post-sepsis aftercare in general. Open-ended questions were analyzed according to the principles of content analysis.ResultsFoun hundred interviews were performed with 287 patients and/or relatives. At 6 months after sepsis, 85.0% of survivors had applied for and 70.0% had undergone rehabilitation. Among these, 97% received physical therapy, but only a minority reported therapies for specific ailments including pain, weaning from mechanical ventilation, cognitive deficits of fatigue. Survivors were moderately satisfied with the suitability, extent, and overall results of received therapies and perceived deficits in the timeliness, accessibility, and specificity of therapies as well as deficits in the structural support frameworks and patient education.ConclusionFrom the perspective of survivors who undergo rehabilitation, therapies should already begin in hospital, be more appropriate for their specific ailments and include better patient and caregiver education. The general aftercare and structural support framework should be improved.

    Abstract Abstract Background Sepsis is a substantial health care burden. Data on regional variation in sepsis incidence in Germany and any possible associations with regional socioeconomic deprivation and health care capacity is lacking. Methods Ecological study based on the nationwide hospital Diagnosis-related Groups (DRG) statistics data of 2016. We identified sepsis by ICD-10-codes and calculated crude and age-standardized incidence proportions in the 401 administrative German districts. Associations between socioeconomic and health care capacity indicators and crude and age-adjusted sepsis incidence were investigated by simple and multiple negative binomial (NB) regressions. Results In 2016, sepsis incidence was 178 per 100,000 inhabitants and varied 10-fold between districts. We found that the rate of students leaving school without certificate was significantly associated with crude and age-standardized explicit sepsis incidence in the simple and multiple NB regressions. While we observed no evidence for an association to the capacity of hospital beds and general practitioners, the distance to the nearest pharmacy was associated with crude- and age-standardized sepsis incidence. In the multiple regression analyses, an increase of the mean distance + 1000 m was associated with an expected increase by 21.6 [95% CI, 10.1, 33.0] (p < 0.001), and 11.1 [95% CI, 1.0, 21.2]/100,000 population (p = .026) after adjusting for age differences between districts. Conclusions Residence in districts with lower socioeconomic status (e.g., less education) and further distance to pharmacies are both associated with an increased sepsis incidence. This warrants further research with individual-level patient data to better model and understand such dependencies and to ultimately design public health interventions to address the burden of sepsis in Germany.

    Abstract Introduction Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major health concern and have substantial effects on morbidity and mortality and increase healthcare costs. We investigated the effect of a hospital-wide program for the prevention of HAIs on additional length of stay (LOS). Methods We analyzed data from a prospective, single-center, quasi-experimental study with two surveillance periods before and after implementation of an infection prevention intervention program. HAI diagnosis was made according to surveillance definition criteria established by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A multistate model was used to estimate additional LOS for patients with HAI in both surveillance periods. Results During the first and second periods, 1,568 and 2,336 HAIs were identified among 26,943 and 35,211 patients, respectively. For HAI patients exclusively treated in a general ward, additional LOS was 8.4 (95% confidence interval, CI: 6.8-10.0) days in the first period and 9.6 (95% CI: 8.3-11.0) days in the second period (p = 0.26). For HAI patients treated in both an intensive care unit (ICU) and a general ward, additional LOS was 8.1 (95% CI: 6.3-9.9) days in the first period to 7.3 (95% CI: 6.1-8.5) days in the second period (p = 0.47). Conclusions Healthcare-associated infections prolong LOS. A hospital-wide infection control program did not alter the prolongation of LOS.

    Abstract Background Separating ill or possibly infectious people from their healthy community is one of the core principles of non-pharmaceutical interventions. However, there is scarce evidence on how to successfully implement quarantine orders. We investigated a community quarantine for an entire village in Germany (Neustadt am Rennsteig, March 2020) with the aim of better understanding the successful implementation of quarantine measures. Methods This cross-sectional survey was conducted in Neustadt am Rennsteig six weeks after the end of a 14-day mandatory community quarantine. The sample size consisted of 562 adults (64% of the community), and the response rate was 295 adults, or 52% (33% of the community). Findings National television was reported as the most important channel of information. Contact with local authorities was very limited, and partners or spouses played a more important role in sharing information. Generally, the self-reported information level was judged to be good (211/289 [73.0%]). The majority of participants (212/289 [73.4%]) approved of the quarantine, and the reported compliance was 217/289 (75.1%). A self-reported higher level of concern as well as a higher level of information correlated positively with both a greater acceptance of quarantine and self-reported compliant behaviour. Interpretation The community quarantine presented a rare opportunity to investigate a public health intervention for an entire community. In order to improve the implementation of public health interventions, public health risk communication activities should be intensified to increase both the information level (potentially leading to better compliance with community quarantine) and the communication level (to facilitate rapport and trust between public health authorities and their communities).

    Abstract Abstract Background Autoimmune encephalitis is a new spectrum of autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), which are characterized by pathogenic autoantibodies against neuronal surface antigens. Clinical presentations range from acute to subacute encephalopathy with neurological and psychiatric symptoms, and life-threatening autonomic dysfunction in severe cases. There exist no approved therapies nor is data available from controlled clinical trials. Patients are usually treated with diverse combinations of immunotherapy. However, effect of immunotherapy on antibody-producing cells and thus on levels of pathogenic autoantibodies is insufficient. Therefore, therapeutic response is sometimes prolonged with necessity of long-time intensive care treatment and also irreversible deficits occur in severe cases. This trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor known to selectively deplete plasma cells, in patients with severe autoimmune encephalitis who have been treated with rituximab with insufficient response. Methods Generate-Boost is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized controlled phase II trial which will be conducted in specialized neurological hospitals within the GENERATE (GErman NEtwork for Research on AuToimmune Encephalitis) network in Germany. Adult patients with severe autoimmune encephalitis (modified Rankin scale, mRS ≥ 3), autoantibodies against neuronal surface antigens, and pretreatment with rituximab are eligible for study participation. Fifty patients will be randomized 1:1 and undergo up to 3 cycles (each 21 days with 4 s. c. applications) of bortezomib or placebo. All patients will receive concomitant medication with dexamethasone, acyclovir and co-trimoxazole. The primary efficacy endpoint is the mRS score 17 weeks after first treatment application. Secondary endpoints are neurocognitive function, antibody titers, markers of neuronal cell damage, length of ICU/hospital stay, and mRS and Glasgow coma scale ...

    Abstract IntroductionInfective endocarditis (IE) is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Multiple organ failure is the main cause of death after surgery for IE. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can cause a systemic inflammatory response. In a pilot study (REMOVE-pilot (Revealing mechanisms and investigating efficacy of hemoad-sorption for prevention of vasodilatory shock in cardiac surgery patients with infective endocarditis – a multicentric randomized controlled group sequential trial)), we found that plasma profiles of cytokines during and after CPB were higher in patients with IE compared with patients with non-infectious valvular heart disease. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores on the first and second postoperative days and in-hospital mortality were also higher in IE patients. This protocol describes the design of the REMOVE trial on cytokine-adsorbing columns, for example, CytoSorb, for non-selective removal of cytokines. The aim of the REMOVE study is to demonstrate efficacy of CytoSorb on the prevention of multiorgan dysfunction in patients with IE undergoing cardiac surgery.Methods and analysisThe REMOVE study is an interventional randomised controlled multicenter trial with a group sequential (Pocock) design for assessing efficacy of CytoSorb in patients undergoing cardiac surgery for IE. The change in mean total SOFA (∆ SOFA) score between preoperative and postoperative care will be used as primary endpoint. Data on 30-day mortality, changes in cytokines levels, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, and postoperative stroke will be collected as secondary endpoints. An interim analysis will be conducted after including 25 participating patients per study arm (with a focus on feasibility of the recruitment as well as differences in cytokines and cell-free DNA levels).Ethics and disseminationThe protocol was approved by the institutional review board and ethics committee of the University of Jena as well as by the corresponding ethics committee ...
