Study summary

Study design is a prospective, randomised, double-blind, and interventional. Primary aim of the study is to investigate efficacy of antiseptic-coated intermittent hydrophilic urinary catheters in prevention and reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in children with neurogenic bladder. Secondary aim is to assess feasibility of antiseptic-coated intermittent hydrophilic urinary catheters in neurogenic bladder management. Octenidine chloride will be used as antiseptic.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of urinary tract infections

    Urinary tract infection is diagnosed when both urinalysis results disclose pyuria and/or bacteriuria and the presence of at least 1000 colony-forming units per mL of a uropathogen cultured from a urine specimen obtained through catheterization

    Time frame: 6 months after start of intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety during catheterisation

    Discomfort during catheterisation will be measured by subjective evaluation on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS), where 0 is 'no discomfort' and 10 is 'worst discomfort imaginable'. Pain, stinging, or resistance will be measured on a four-point scale (for example for pain: 1=no pain; 4=severe pain).

    Time frame: 6 months after start of intervention

  2. Adverse reactions

    Adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs will be recorded by the investigator. The presence of visible bleeding will reported by the participants.

    Time frame: 6 months after start of intervention

  3. Expenses of infection-associated treatment

    Total expenses in diagnostics and treatment of urinary tract infections

    Time frame: 6 months after start of intervention

  4. Improvement in health-related quality of life measured by PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core questionnaire

    Improvement is defined by increase in total and subscale scores by more than defined minimally clinical important difference for PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core questionnaire

    Time frame: 6 months after start of intervention

Other outcomes

  1. Gut flora and catheter-associated infections

    Impact of gut flora composition on incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections

    Time frame: 2 years after start of intervention
