CATHETER II, a randomised controlled trial comparing the clinical and cost effectiveness of various washout policies versus no washout policy in preventing catheter associated complications in adults living with long term catheters

Research output: Contribution to journalAbstractpeer-review

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.
