A clinical study to compare the incidence of Urinary Tract Infection between metal coated urinary catheter and conventional latex urinary catheter in ICU patients

Completed
Conditions
Urinary tract infection, site notspecified,
Registration Number
CTRI/2019/09/021306
Lead Sponsor
Dr BADRI PRASAD DAS
Brief Summary

All the adult patients between age group 18-60 years who were fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in our study. Total patients recruited were 200 and these were randomised into group A(conventional foley catheter) and group B( BIP foley catheter) but due to covid pandemic we could not recruit the patients as targeted so total 153 patients were analysed. The primary end point,CAUTI was significantly less in group with metal alloy impregnated foley catheter(BIP foley catheter) as compared to conventional foley catheter(3.7 per 1000 catheter days vs 13.7 per 1000 catheter days with p value 0.006). As stated by secondary end point, less mortality was observed in griup with BIP foley catheter as compared to conventional foley catheter(25% vs 31.3%). This was clinically significant but not stastically significant.
