Modified Reporting From Indwelling Catheters

Canada100 participantsStarted 2018-11-05

Plain-language summary

Positive urine cultures collected from indwelling catheters from inpatients will be randomized to standard reporting or modified reporting. Physician antibiotic treatment decisions will be prospectively observed and determined to be appropriate or inappropriate. The hypothesis is that modified reporting will lead to an increase in the percentage of appropriate therapy without an increase in pyelonephritis or sepsis.
