About this study

Official title: Incidence of Urinary Tract Infection and Germ Identification After Urodynamic Investigation in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of urinary tract infection after urodynamic investigation and to identify the involved germs.

Read the detailed description

Patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury need lifelong urologic control examinations with CMG (urodynamic examination). The manipulation may cause urinary tract infections which have to be treated. Patients often noticed an infection after a CMG examination. Aim of this study is the determination of the infection rate and germs. Also should be noticed the pre-interventional infections and differences between the causing germs. Simultaneously the investigators test the reliability of the quicktest for urinary infection. Additionally the investigators will examine the Quality of Life in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

What participants receive

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

  • urodynamic examinationProcedure or surgery

    Standard urodynamic investigation according to the ICS standard, Good urodynamic practice.Following insertion of 8 F transurethral catheter, retrograde filling of the bladder (20 mL/min) with body warm saline.

    Current recording of pabd. , pves and pdet., subsequently pressure flow study. Additionally imaging with fluoroscopy to detect possible vesico ureteral renal reflux.

Spinal cord injuredExperimentalPatients with neurogenic lower urinary tract infection (Spinal Cord Injury,MS,M. Parkinson)
Receives: Procedure: urodynamic examination

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of urinary tract infection following urodynamic investigation

    every patient receives the urine examination before the urodynamic investigation and hospitalized patients additionally 3 days later and ambulatory patients in case of urinary tract infection

    Measured: 3 days after urodynamic investigation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Name and number of identified bacterial species

    Measured: 30 minutes before examination

  2. Number of hospitalized and number of ambulatory patients with infection of the lower urinary tract

    Measured: 3 days after examination

  3. Incidence of urinary tract infection before urodynamic investigation

    every patient receives the urine examination before the urodynamic investigation to detect a potentially urinary tract infection

    Measured: 30 minutes before urodynamic investigation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing urodynamic examination in people with Neurogenic Bladder, run by Balgrist University Hospital at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Incidence of urinary tract infection following urodynamic investigation (time frame: 3 days after urodynamic investigation). 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 16 Dec 2016.
