An ostomy baseplate with a skin-protection technology reduces peristomal skin complications: a randomized controlled trial (the ATTRACT study).

Background: Peristomal skin complications (PSCs) are the predominant complication for people living with a stoma, negatively affecting their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). PSCs may also have an impact on healthcare costs for society with more visits to healthcare professionals and increased consumption of products and treatment strategies, which amplifies the need for new strategies to reduce or prevent PSCs.

Objectives: To evaluate the performance of an ostomy baseplate with a skin-protection technology.
