Cluster Randomized Trial of Hospitals to Assess Impact of Targeted Versus Universal Strategies to Reduce Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) — REDUCE-MRSA  

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Clinical Trial

Official title:
Cluster Randomized Trial of Hospitals to Assess Impact of Targeted Versus Universal

Clinical Trial Summary

The Randomized Evaluation of Decolonization versus Universal Clearance to Eliminate MRSA (REDUCE MRSA) Trial is a cluster randomized trial of the comparative effectiveness of three strategies to prevent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in intensive care units. The three strategies to be evaluated are:

- screening on admission followed by isolation of MRSA+ patients

- screening on admission followed by isolation and decolonization of MRSA+ patients

- universal decolonization on admission with no screening. The decolonization regimen involves bathing with chlorhexidine plus intra-nasal application of mupirocin. The main outcome will be MRSA+ clinical cultures.

The study is a partnership between the CDC, the CDC Prevention Epicenters, and the Hospital Corporation of America.

Clinical Trial Description

Baseline data involving 12 months of data for participating hospitals (July 2008 - June 2009) was collected prior to randomization to account for size and ICU baseline prevalence of MRSA in randomization scheme. Randomization occurred at the hospital level.

Eligibility survey was conducted to determine exclusion criteria.

As of May 2010, enrollment has been closed. 45 hospitals were randomized, but two were found to meet exclusion criteria and were excluded. As-randomized (or as-assigned) analysis included 43 hospitals, representing 74 ICUs. Individual (patient-level) subject enrollment during intervention is 74,256. ;
