Abstract
Hypothesis / aims of study
Long term catheter (LTC) is defined as catheter use for more than 28 days. Adverse events (AEs) associated with LTC use impact patients’ quality of life (QoL) and are a significant burden on healthcare resources. CATHETER II aims to determine if weekly prophylactic saline or acidic catheter washouts in addition to standard long-term catheter (LTC) care improves the outcomes of adults living with LTC compared to standard LTC care only.
