Extrait
A prospective, observational study in a university hospital (UZ Leuven). Patients are included when they are treated with a potentional QT-prolonging drug: haloperidol for delirium, antibiotics (moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, co-trimoxazole), antimycotics (ketoconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole), methadone, tacrolimus and oral oncolytics. An ECG is taken before the administration of the drug and 3-5 days after starting the drug to investigate the change in duration of the QTc-interval. Risk factors for developing QT-prolongation will be documented. Together with ECG2, an additional blood sample will be collected to measure the blood concentration of the drug.
