Continence Care Registry (ConCaRe™)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This observational research study aims to build a multinational electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and other various aspects of using an intermittent catheter.

Detailed Description
This observational research study aims to build a multinational ePRO registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research resulting from data generated from an ePRO registry will factor in end user perspectives on intermittent catheterization habits and behaviors and intermittent catheter performance to inform and guide healthcare providers, end users, and caregivers in making the most informed healthcare decisions regarding intermittent catheterization. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and various aspects of habits and behaviors, including health-related quality of life, of using an intermittent catheter.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Creation of longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry [5 years]
To build a longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry addressing overall intermittent catheter product satisfaction, QoL, healthcare resource utilization associated with urinary symptoms, urinary tract infections and other complications, and associated factors to end-user product choice.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Identification of intermittent catheterization habits and behaviours [5 years]
To identify intermittent catheterization habits and behaviors, via the analysis of the continence care registry data, to enable meaningful product-related and burden of illness insights and comparisons. Habits and behaviors include frequency of self-intermittent catheterization, catheter choice and access, intermittent catheter related complications, and adherence to catheterization plan.
