Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Comparison of Two Urinary Catheters of Different Lengths for Female Use, in Intermittent Catheterization (NCT NCT00799981)

NCT ID: NCT00799981

Last Updated: 2021-05-18

Results Overview

Measurements were performed with the bladder scan BVI 3000. The primary outcome variable was average residual urine volume (mL) calculated from repetitive bladder scans performed after each catheterization. Three bladder scan measurements were performed immediately after each catheterization and a mean value was calculated.

Participant Flow

Each subject eligible for entry into the study was a female using catheters for intermittent self catheterization at least once a day and had done so for the last month. Three centers in Sweden were involved. Four catheterizations, two with each product in a randomized order, were performed at the study centre. Catheterization should resemble the daily use as far as possible.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Three bladder scan measurements were performed immediately after each catheterization and a mean value was calculated. A maximum of 5 minutes were allowed to elapse between catheterization and bladder scan.

Population: All subjects in the investigation

Measurements were performed with the bladder scan BVI 3000. The primary outcome variable was average residual urine volume (mL) calculated from repetitive bladder scans performed after each catheterization. Three bladder scan measurements were performed immediately after each catheterization and a mean value was calculated.
