About this study

Official title: Reduction of Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection With a Daily Nursing Review of the Indication. Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the daily nurse review of the indication of the urinary catheter compared to the everyday care of the working staff is effective to reduce the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection in adults hospitalized.

Read the detailed description

Healthcare-associated infection (HAI)in hospitalized patients are very frequent, especially the catheter-associated urinary tract infection, which prolongs the hospital stay and costs, and is about 3 times more likely to die during hospitalization than patients not infected.

The measures of aseptic insertion and closed systems of collection, as well as the rational use of the probe reduce the risk for infection.

A checklist that contains the agreed indications of catheter, related to obstruction, incontinence, skin lesions in sacral region, monitoring or surgical procedures allows the daily review of the indication of the probe. If the patient doesn´t meet at least one of the criteria, should be recommended the withdrawal of the catheter.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Daily reviewOther

    Also called Review for indication

    Daily nursing review of the urinary catheter´s indication. If the patient meets at least one of the entries to stay with bladder catheter, the nurse will record collection in the format but will not contact the health team. If there aren´t indication in the medical record, she contacts at the attending physician and said: "Doctor, I didn´t find record in the history of the indication of the urinary catheter, can we withdraw?. If the physician reported the indication, will be recorded in the format without additional comments.

    The attending physician decides withdraw or no withdraw the urinary catheter

Study groups in NCT01067768
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Daily reviewExperimentalIn the intervention group a nurse reviewed daily, by using a checklist designed for this study, the indications and pertinence of the catheter. If it was not indicated she asked the doctor to order the removal of the catheter, but the doctor would make the final decision.
Receives: Other: Daily review
Routine careNo interventionIn the control group, the attending team would remove the catheter as routine, without any suggestion by the research protocol.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection

    Measured: Until 7 days after the withdrawal of the catheter or at discharge (whichever comes first)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Catheter Days

    The duration of catheterization

    Measured: withdrawal of the catheter

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Colombia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection (time frame: Until 7 days after the withdrawal of the catheter or at discharge (whichever comes first)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2019.
