The Incidence of Linezolid-induced Thrombocytopenia (LIT) in Critically Ill Patients, the Risk Factors for LIT
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
-
To identify the incidence of LIT among critically ill patients, as limited studies have only addressed this population.
-
To evaluate the impact of several factors on the incidence of LIT, the time to onset of LIT, and the time to recovery of platelets.
-
To study the effect of concurrent medications (enoxaparin, unfractinated heparin, piperacillin, carbapenems, tigecycline, fluconazole or voriconazole, digoxin, amiodarone, acetaminophen, tirofiban, statins, and antiepileptics) frequently used in critically ill patients on the incidence of LIT.
-
To investigate the impact of possible medications with an antioxidant effect on the prevention of LIT.
-
To assess the impact of LIT on composite end point (mortality, bleeding, and length of stay)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of Linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia (LIT) thrombocytopenia [One year]
Defined as platelets < 150000 OR decrease > 50% of baseline platelets.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time to the onset of LIT [One year]
Defined as platelets < 150000 OR decrease > or = 50% of baseline platelets.
- time to platelet recovery [One year]
after having thrombocytopenia, regardless of discontinuation of linezolid, recovery is defined as the restoration and maintenance of platelet counts > 70% of baseline values
- Incidence of clinical outcomes [One year]
Incidence of clinical outcomes (bleeding, mortality, length of stay, need for platelet or blood transfusion).
