Trial Design
Trial Design Mixed methods feasibility study Study Aim Aim: To conduct a study of feasibility to assess which participants and interventions should be included in a subsequent randomised controlled trial, explore potential barriers to recruitment and determine the feasibility of randomisation to invasive versus non-invasive urine testing. Objectives
- To determine the number of potential participants with suspected UTI presenting to a range of clinical settings, including emergency care, inpatients, and outpatients.
- To conduct a quantitative assessment of the ability to screen, recruit and randomise children and young people to one of three interventions (CCU, SPA and TUBC).
- To explore the views of parents, children, young people, and clinicians on the acceptability of different collection methods, and the appropriate population for inclusion in a future study.
- To identify potential barriers to recruitment and consent.
- To establish the most appropriate design, including important patient centred outcomes, for use in a future study.
- To perform a cost analysis of the three urine collection methods to inform the resource planning and design of a future cost-effectiveness study.
