Effect of active versus passive void trials on time to patient discharge, urinary tract infection, and urinary retention: a randomized clinical trial

ConclusionOur study comparing AVT versus PVT demonstrated no difference in time to discharge despite a 3.6  h reduction in time to void associated with AVT. AVT was associated with a 63% reduction in UTI, with no difference seen in UR rates across cohorts. Given the reduction in UTI and technical advantages, our data suggest that AVT should be considered as a recommended technique for void trial protoco l.Trial registrationNCT02886143 (clinicaltrials.gov).
