NCT02996357

Brief Summary

This study aims to identify patient characteristics associated with the development of Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD) category 2 (skin erosion due to incontinence). 380 ICU patients suffering of fecal incontinence will be included in the study. Data on 19 possible risk factors will be collected at one point in time by the research team. Different sources and methods will be used to collect patient data: skin assessment, patient record, direct patient observation, routine blood samples.

Study Arms (2)

Cases

Patients with IAD Category 2 (red skin with skin breakdown)

Controls

Patients with IAD Cat. 0 (at risk, no redness and skin intact)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients admitted to intensive care unit, with fecal incontinence (a known risk for IAD Cat. 2 development) will be sampled. The presence of fecal incontinence (any type) will be used as the only variable for matching (as not to reduce the possibility to interfere with associated risk factors).

You may qualify if:

  • Being admitted to the intensive care unit
  • Being fecal incontinent (=unintentional loss of stool)

You may not qualify if:

  • Being \< 18 years
  • No contact possible between skin en stool at the perianal region (e.g. due to enteral stoma)
