What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with urinary tract infection when using suprapubic versus transurethral catheterization as assessed by significant bacteriuria and pyuria

    The urinary tract infection, defined as significant bacteriuria ( > 104 CFU / mL) and pyuria (> 6 white blood cells per high power field) in urine samples obtained immediately after removal of the urethral catheter or clamping suprapubic catheter and removing the fourth postoperative day.

    Measured: four days postoperative

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Duration of catherism as assessed by the number of days for participants with the catheter and number of participants leaving the hospital with the catheter

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Pain as assessed by visual analogue scale (0 to 10 score) for abdomen and urethra

    visual analogue scale (0-10) for both the abdomen and the urethra (a measure daily until hospital discharge )

    Measured: at 1, 2, 3 and 4 days

  3. Participants morbidity and mortality as assessed by Dindo and Clavien classification

    Measured: at 1 month and 6 months

  4. Rate of satisfaction for participants as assessed by questionnaries (Fact-C and EQ-5D-3L

    Patient satisfaction : very, or moderately dissatisfied , unchanged , slightly , moderately , or very disappointed at the exit of the Fact- C hospital and EQ-5D - 3L at 30 days and 6 months.

    Measured: at 30 days and 6 months

  5. Cost as assessed by the addition of the costs of the full process depending on the catheterism duration and additional consultations and readmissions for complications

    Estimated cost of complications, urologic surgery, medication , hospitalization, additional consultations and readmissions.

    Measured: at 6 months

  6. Duration of hospital stay in days

    the hospital stay by day

    Measured: within 6 months

  7. Rate of recatheterization

    Measured: in the first 6 months

  8. Duration of postoperative return to normal bladder function as assessed by IPSS score

    Measured: at 1 and 6 months

  9. Number of additionnal consultations

    Measured: in the first 6 months

  10. Lack of comfort as assessed by visual analogue scale (0 to 10 score) for abdomen and urethra

    visual analogue scale (0-10) for both the abdomen and the urethra (a measure daily until hospital discharge )

    Measured: at 1, 2, 3 and 4 days

  11. Specific complications

    Measured: in the first 6 months

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 8 inclusion and 12 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 21 Jul 2022. 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 France. 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?

Number of participants with urinary tract infection when using suprapubic versus transurethral catheterization as assessed by significant bacteriuria and pyuria (time frame: four days postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02922647, which also lists 18 linked publications.

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.
