About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study to Investigate if Silver Alloyed Urinary Catheters Can Reduce the Incidence of Catheter Acquired Urinary Tract Infections in Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery

This study is a single blinded (Outcome Assessors), multicenter randomized controlled study designed to investigate if a silver alloyed urinary catheter with antibacterial properties can reduce the incidence of catheter acquired urinary tract infections in patients undergoing elective surgery. Patients requiring urinary catheterization will be randomized into two groups and receive either the silver alloyed catheter (test) or a silicone catheter (control).

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine whether a silver alloyed catheter with antibacterial properties will decrease the incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infection in patients undergoing elective surgery.

    Measured: At catheter withdrawal (normally 1-3 days after catheter insertion).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient´s evaluation of the catheterization and overall satisfaction.

    Measured: At catheter withdrawal and 7-10 days after catheter withdrawal.

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?

To determine whether a silver alloyed catheter with antibacterial properties will decrease the incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infection in patients undergoing elective surgery. (time frame: At catheter withdrawal (normally 1-3 days after catheter insertion).). 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?
