Article Synopsis
- The SuDDICU trial aims to evaluate the effects of selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) on outcomes for ventilated patients in ICUs, focusing on whether it reduces hospital mortality and affects antibiotic resistance.
- This international study involves 19 ICUs in Australia and 10 in Canada and the UK, recruiting 15,000 to 17,000 patients over two 12-month trial periods, comparing SDD plus standard care against standard care alone.
- Key primary and secondary outcomes include all-cause hospital mortality, duration of ventilation, ICU and hospital stay, incidence of new infections, and the development of antibiotic resistance, with recruitment starting in 2017.
