About this study

Official title: Effect of Indwelling Foley Placement, Immediate Post-Operative Straight Catheterization, or No Catheterization on Post-operative Urinary Retention After Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusions

To determine if indwelling Foley placement at the onset of the procedure, straight catherization at the conclusion of the procedure, or no catheterization produces the lowest rates of postoperative urinary retention after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions (TLIFs).

Read the detailed description

Post-operative urinary retention (POUR) is one the most common post-operative complications after elective spine surgeries. Common causes of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) include bladder stenosis, distension, trauma due to catheterizations, age, and prostate hyperplasia. The incidence of POUR increases with age, gender, types of surgery conducted, any comorbidities such as cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis, use of drugs such as anticholinergic agents, beta blockers, or sympathomimetics, and use of IV fluids.

This condition has been associated with the development of UTIs and sepsis, increased post-operative length of stay (LOS), and 90-day readmission after surgery. In the field of spine surgery, the reported incidence of POUR is highly variable, and there is no consensus on effective methods of prevention. We set out to assess POUR from patients catheterized compared to non-catheterized following a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Foley Catheter in people with Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion, run by Rush University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Aug 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Length of Hospital Stay (time frame: Date of surgery until the date of hospital discharge, up to 1 month). 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 Sep 2022.
