Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prevention of Incontinence-associated Dermatitis (NCT NCT05403762)

NCT ID: NCT05403762

Last Updated: 2026-03-18

Results Overview

Number of subjects developing IAD of all subjects (cumulative incidence). Classification of IAD according to Ghent Global IAD Categorisation Tool (GLOBIAD) (Category 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B). The GLOBIAD categorises IAD severity based on visual inspection of the affected skin areas. Category 1A: Persistent redness without clinical signs of infection Category 1B: Persistent redness with clinical signs of infection Category 2A: Skin loss without clinical signs of infection Category 2B: Skin loss with clinical signs of infection

Participant Flow

The study was conducted in the federal state of Berlin, Germany. Recruitment and study procedures took place in 20 geriatric care units, including two inpatient wards in acute care hospitals and 18 long-term care facilities. Participant recruitment was conducted from August 2022 to January 2025, and follow-up for all study outcomes, including potential harms, was completed in February 2025.

53/220 individuals were excluded before randomisation for the following reasons: * not meeting the inclusion criteria (n = 20; for example, a pre-existing wound at the investigational area), * unavailability at baseline screening (n = 12), * discharge or absence at baseline (n = 7), * terminal condition or death (n = 7), * declined participation (n = 2), * other reasons (n = 5).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 Days

Population: Denominators vary because outcome-specific at-risk populations were defined by baseline IAD status. Participants with IAD category 2 at baseline were excluded from the study. Incidence of IAD 2A/2B is based on all enrolled participants (n=167). Incidence of IAD 1 or 2 (n=143) excludes those with IAD 1A at baseline. Other rows are restricted to baseline-defined subgroups (no IAD or IAD 1A).

Number of subjects developing IAD of all subjects (cumulative incidence). Classification of IAD according to Ghent Global IAD Categorisation Tool (GLOBIAD) (Category 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B). The GLOBIAD categorises IAD severity based on visual inspection of the affected skin areas. Category 1A: Persistent redness without clinical signs of infection Category 1B: Persistent redness with clinical signs of infection Category 2A: Skin loss without clinical signs of infection Category 2B: Skin loss with clinical signs of infection

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 Days

Population: Participant numbers vary across study days because instrumental erythema measurements were analyzed per visit based on available data. At some visits, assessments were not possible for individual participants (e.g., temporary absence or medical reasons), but measurements were performed again at subsequent scheduled visits. Therefore, denominators may decrease or increase between days and reflect available observations at each time point rather than the total study population.

Erythema measured with the Mexameter MX® 18 (Courage + Khazaka, Cologne, Germany). Means of two duplicate measurements per skin area are displayed in arbitrary units (AU) ranging from 0 (= no erythema) to 999 (= extreme erythema).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 Days

Population: Rows include only participants with IAD at the respective follow-up visit, as erythema was assessed as an IAD-related sign. Therefore, denominators differ from the total study population and reflect only those with present IAD at that time point.

Clinical rating of erythema is conducted according to the item 'Redness' of the incontinence-associated dermatitis and its severity (IADS) instrument. The 3-Item-Scale describes 'Redness' as (1) none, (2) pink, (3) red/ bright red.

Population: These rows include only participants with IAD at the respective follow-up visit, as erosion was assessed as an IAD-related skin sign. Therefore, denominators differ from the total study population and reflect only those with present IAD at that time point.

The presence (no or yes) of erosion is defined according to the latest International League of Dermatological Societies glossary of cutaneous lesions as a loss of either a portion of or the entire epidermis. Number of subjects developing erosions of all subjects (cumulative incidence).

Population: Rows include only participants with IAD at the respective follow-up visit, as maceration was assessed as an IAD-related skin sign. Therefore, denominators differ from the total study population and reflect only those with present IAD at that time point.

The presence (no or yes) of maceration is defined as the result of prolonged exposure (of the skin) to moisture and causes the skin to soften and breakdown so that the connective fibres can be teased apart and the skin often exhibits a white appearance. Number of subjects developing maceration of all subjects (cumulative incidence).

Timeframe: 14 Days

Population: Only participants without cognitive impairment (MMSE ≥24) were eligible for assessment using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). At Day 6, 2 of 20 participants with IAD met this criterion; at Day 14, 3 of 8 participants with IAD met this criterion. Therefore, denominators differ from the total study population and vary by follow-up visit.

Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain score. The NRS ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Higher scores indicate greater pain severity. The NRS was administered only to participants without cognitive impairment (MMSE ≥24).
