Official title
Cluster Randomized Trial of Hospitals to Assess Impact of Targeted Versus Universal
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
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.
