Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| People with outward abdominal ostomy have despite development of better ostomy appliances still problems with leakage and peristomal skin disorders which influence their quality of life negatively. As the frequency of leakage correlates to the degree of peristomal skin complications, ostomy appliances with a better fit to body and better leakage performance have the potential of improving the peristomal skin condition and quality of life. Hence body fit is the primary end point in this investigation and will be recorded after test period 1, 2, 3 and Termination. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Leakage is considered to be one of the greatest concerns for people with an ostomy. The frequency of leakage correlates to the degree of peristomal skin complications; therefore ostomy appliances with better leakage performance have the potential of improving the peristomal skin condition and quality of life [2,3]. Constant evaluation and development of new ostomy appliances with good leakage performance is therefore of high importance and clinically relevant. Further secondary end points have been chosen in this exploratory investigation to gain knowledge regarding the effect of base plate shape and adhesive type on aspects such as comfort, preference and Quality of Life. | — |
