The primary outcome for the full efficacy trial which requires and effect size estimate is all-cause CVAD failure. [Study completion];CVAD failure: all-cause CVAD failure (composite of infection, occlusion, dislodgement, thrombosis, haematoma or breakage). Device failure is the outcome of importance to patients, with poor securement and dressing taking various pathways to the same endpoint – CVAD removal with requirement for a new CVAD insertion[CVAD removal]
