Groups 2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Arm 1: Routine Care (Mupirocin/CHG) | ICU nasal decolonization with mupirocin twice daily for 5 days in the context of chlorhexidine for daily bathing~Arm 1. Routine Care (Mupirocin/CHG): The intervention / decolonization regimen will consist of 5 days of topical intranasal mupirocin ointment (bilateral nares, twice daily) on ICU admission, in the context of continued daily baths with 2% chlorhexidine cloths. | 2,708 | 168,301 | OG000 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Group 2 | Arm 2: Iodophor/CHG Decolonization | ICU nasal decolonization with iodophor twice daily for 5 days in the context of chlorhexidine for daily bathing~Arm 2. Iodophor/CHG Decolonization: The intervention / decolonization regimen will consist of 5 days of topical intranasal iodophor (10% povidone-iodine nasal swabs) (bilateral nares, twice daily) on ICU admission, in the context of continued daily baths with 2% chlorhexidine cloths. | 3,563 | 185,022 | OG001 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
