| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary and exploratory endpoints: Surgery and infection-associated secondary and exploratory endpoints: • Incidence of 30/ 90 day rates of infections (MI/CI target infections, any MI/CI infection; please find definitions below) • Correlation of cumulative antibiotic exposure on emergence of MDRO colonization and infection at day 30 following intra-abdominal surgery • Proportion of MI infections involving at least one endogenous pathogen identified as dominating the respective microbiota composition in a preceding study sample • Impact of patient management standards on 30/90 day rates of infections (MI/CI target infections, any MI/CI infection) • Impact of inappropriate anti-infective prescription compared to adequate or no anti-infective prescription on 30/90 day rates of infections (MI/CI target infections, any MI/CI infection) • Incidence of 30/90 day complications (death, new/prolonged ventilation, surgical revision) • Long-term assessment of patient quality of live following complex intra-abdominal surgery (at baseline, 30/90 days, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years following surgery) • Association of changes in the microbiota composition with oncological outcomes (disease free survival, overall survival, recurrence) • Development of a model predicting infectious complications (MI/CI target infections, any MI/CI infection) and emergence of MDRO colonization Microbiota-associated secondary and exploratory endpoints: • Identification of distinct microbiota signatures that confer resilience to colonization with MDRO • Identification of specific microbiota compositions including dominance by a specific taxon that precedes infection • Changes in alpha diversity levels of the intestinal microbiota during observational period • Influence of patient management standards on intestinal microbiota composition and emergence of MDRO colonization • Influence of inappropriate anti-infective prescription versus adequate or no anti-infective prescription on intes | — |
