Brief Summary:
This is a cluster-randomized trial of nursing homes to assess whether decolonization with routine chlorhexidine bathing and periodic use of nasal antiseptics can reduce hospitalizations associated with infections, antibiotic utilization, and multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) prevalence. The comparator arm will be routine bathing care.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Hospitalization Infection | Drug: Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) Drug: Iodophor (10% povidone-iodine) | Phase 4 |
| Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
| Estimated Enrollment : | 28 participants |
| Allocation: | Randomized |
| Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
| Masking: | None (Open Label) |
| Primary Purpose: | Prevention |
| Official Title: | Project PROTECT: Protecting Nursing Homes From Infections and Hospitalization |
| Actual Study Start Date : | April 3, 2017 |

Active Comparator: Decolonization
Nursing homes assigned to this arm will perform decolonization using topical antiseptic products.
|
Drug: Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)
2% no-rinse chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) for bed bathing and 4% rinse-off CHG showering. Bathing frequency will be per routine plus admission bathing. Drug: Iodophor (10% povidone-iodine) Nasal decolonization using topical 10% povidone-iodine nasal swabs will be applied to all residents on admission for 5 days twice daily plus every other week Monday-Friday using a twice daily regimen. |
|
No Intervention: Routine Bathing
Routine bathing per facility protocol.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Hospital Transfers Due to Infection [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Probability that a transfer to a hospital is due to an infection
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- All Hospital Transfers [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Probability that a discharge is to a hospital
Other Outcome Measures:
- Multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonization (Secondary manuscript, Original protocol) [ Time Frame: Once in baseline and once at end-intervention (month 15-18 of intervention period) ]Probability of colonization with any multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO): (MRSA, VRE, ESBL, CRE)
- Hospital Transfers Due to Infection in Long Stay and Short Stay Subsets (Secondary manuscript, added by Steering Committee decision on 3/22/2017) [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Probability that a transfer to a hospital is due to an infection for long stay and short stay resident subsets
- All Hospital Transfers in Long Stay and Short Stay Subsets (Secondary manuscript, added by Steering Committee decision on 3/22/2017) [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Probability that a discharge is to a hospital for long stay and short stay resident subsets
- Emergency Department Transfers Due to Infection (Secondary manuscript, added by Steering Committee decision on 3/22/2017) [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Probability that a resident is sent to the emergency department for an infection, overall for long stay and short stay resident subsets
