Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reducing Urinary Tract Infection Rates Using a Controlled Aseptic Protocol for Catheter Insertion (NCT NCT03101371)

NCT ID: NCT03101371

Last Updated: 2020-03-10

Results Overview

Participants were monitored for up to 14 days. This was assessed with a rapid urine analysis (UA) test. A urinary tract infection was defined as \>10\^5 bacterial colony forming units per ML on urine culture regardless of symptoms. This is the number of participants who had at least one CAUTI during the time of observation.
