gentamicin and Overweight

gentamicin has been researched along with Overweight in 1 studies

Gentamicins: A complex of closely related aminoglycosides obtained from MICROMONOSPORA purpurea and related species. They are broad-spectrum antibiotics, but may cause ear and kidney damage. They act to inhibit PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS.

Overweight: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is above certain standards. In the scale of BODY MASS INDEX, overweight is defined as having a BMI of 25.0-29.9 kg/m2. Overweight may or may not be due to increases in body fat (ADIPOSE TISSUE), hence overweight does not equal over fat.

Trial Outcomes

Length of Stay as an Indicator of the Hospital Economic Burden

The length of stay is an important indicator of efficiency and hospital economic burden. The reduction in number of hospitalization days results in lower risk of infection and less medication side effects and decreased need of hospital supplies. The difference in the average days of hospitalization between both groups indirectly represents the economic cost spent by the hospital. (NCT03976466)
Timeframe: Surgical procedure day to hospital discharge.
