Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The incidence of UTI’s in patients in Martini General Hospital Groningen and intended other (Santeon) hospitals using CIC to empty their bladder.
Secondary outcome
The impact of an UTI on patients’quality of life and on illness related (economic) costs e.g. direct costs of treatment, amount of hospital visits, hospital recording, loss of productivity etc.
Background summary
UTI’s are commonly seen in CIC patients. This can have great impact on patients and healthcare expenders. However treatment and prevention of UTIs in CIC patients are largely not evidence-based.
In this multicentre prospective cohort study we aim to establish a reliable incidence number for UTIs and gain insight in the impact on patients’ quality of life and on illness related (economic) costs e.g. direct costs of treatment, amount of hospital visits, hospital recording, loss of productivity etc.
Study objective
In this observation study we hypothise an incidence of UTIs of 30% in the first year after starting CIC. Moreover we hypothise a marked reduction in quality of life and an increase in health care expensis in patients with UTI.
Study design
1. Baseline at whicht patients start CIC;
2. One month follow-up;
3. Three months follow-up;
4. Twelve months follow-up.
