Scientific titleLow dose chemoprophylaxis (LDCP) and reduction of pyelonephritic episodes and significant bacteriuria in children with meningomyelocele and clean intermittent catheterisation (CIC)
Study acronymSPIN UTI study
Study objectivesIn meningomyelocele (MMC)-children treated with clean intermittent catheterisation (CIC), the incidences of significant bacteriuria and pyelonephritic episodes are only slightly smaller in the group of subjects treated with low dose chemoprophylaxis (LDCP) compared to the group without LDCP.
Ethics approval(s)Received from local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMeningomyelocele (MMC)
InterventionThe entire group with MMC and CIC is allocated randomly continuing LDCP or stopping LDCP.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

1. Number of urinary tract infections
2. Number of pyelonephritic episodes

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Changes in antibiotic resistance patterns in the cultured uropathogens
