Survey of hemodialysis patients’ knowledge of their infection risk and acceptability of an intranasal decolonization intervention

Patients on hemodialysis underestimate their infection risk. Most patients found intranasal PVI to be acceptable. Future research should aim to improve patient education on their infection risk and remove barriers to adherence with infection prevention interventions.Clinical trial information: NCT04210505, https://clinicaltrials.gov/.

Patients on hemodialysis underestimate their infection risk. Most patients found intranasal PVI to be acceptable. Future research should aim to improve patient education on their infection risk and remove barriers to adherence with infection prevention interventions.Clinical trial information: NCT04210505, https://clinicaltrials.gov/.
