Skin cleansers and leave-on product interventions for preventing incontinence-associated dermatitis in adults

We found limited evidence, of low and very low certainty, on the effectiveness of interventions for preventing IAD in adults. Consequently, it is unclear whether any skin cleanser or leave-on product, used alone or in combination, performs better than any other. There is some very uncertain evidence that using a skin cleanser may be better at preventing IAD than soap and water, and that using a combination of a skin cleanser with a leave-on product may be better at preventing IAD than using a skin cleanser alone. There is a need for high-quality confirmatory trials using standardised, comparable prevention regimens in different settings/regions.
