“…As detailed in Table 1 and Appendix Table 2, 7 studies 22, 24, 26, 31, 32, 35, 36 involved single interventions and 12 studies 15, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27–30, 33, 34, 37, 38 included multiple interventions. Interventions to impact catheter use and care were evaluated in 13 studies, including appropriateness of use, 21, 25, 29, 30 improving catheter maintenance care, 15, 20, 29, 30 securement, 15, 29,30, 32 prompting removal of unnecessary catheters, 21, 25, 29, 30 improving incontinence care, 15, 21, 23, 25 bladder scanners, 37, 38 catheter changes, 35 and comparing alternatives (condom catheter or intermittent straight catheter) to use of an indwelling catheter.…”

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing homes are common, costly, and morbid. PURPOSE Systematic literature review of strategies to reduce UTIs in nursing home residents DATA SOURCES Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science and Embase through June 22, 2015. STUDY SELECTION Interventional studies with a comparison group reporting at least one outcome for: catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI), UTIs not identified as catheter-associated, bacteriuria, or urinary catheter use. DATA EXTRACTION Two authors abstracted study design, participant and intervention details, outcomes, and quality measures. DATA SYNTHESIS Of 5,794 records retrieved, 20 records describing 19 interventions were included: 8 randomized controlled trials, 10 pre-post non-randomized interventions, and 1 non-randomized intervention with concurrent controls. Quality (range 8-25, median 15) and outcome definitions varied greatly. Thirteen studies employed strategies to reduce catheter use or improve catheter care; nine studies employed general infection prevention strategies (e.g., improving hand hygiene, surveillance, contact precautions, reducing antibiotics). The nineteen studies reported 12 UTI outcomes, 9 CAUTI outcomes, 4 bacteriuria outcomes, and 5 catheter use outcomes. Five studies showed CAUTI reduction (1 significantly); nine studies showed UTI reduction (none significantly); 2 studies showed bacteriuria reduction (none significantly). Four studies showed reduced catheter use (1 significantly). LIMITATIONS Studies were often underpowered to assess statistical significance; none were pooled given variety of interventions and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Several practices, often implemented in bundles, appear to reduce UTI or CAUTI in nursing home residents such as improving hand hygiene, reducing and improving catheter use, managing incontinence without catheters, and enhanced barrier precautions.

“…As UTI is the most common infection in hospitals or aged care centres, dwellers with reduced functional status residing in these facilities are more vulnerable to have this infection 5 . There is a higher incidence of complicated UTI in this group of patients.…”

“…The management of patients with UTI is challenging, not only from a medical perspective but also from their psychosocial aspects. This group of patients need significant mental support while they are treated in the hospital settings [1][2][3][4][5] . Some of these subjects may live in the aged care facilities as well.…”

This review article focuses on critical analyses of the approach towards the management of older adults suffering from urinary tract infections. The article sheds light on the better scopes of management for these patients beyond the conventional treatment strategies to deal with the disease complexities with a goal to achieve patient satisfaction as well as fulfilling their psychosocial needs. Medline (1946) Scopus, Embase,CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched for articles published from 1980 to 2015 using the keywords Urinary Tract Infection, Older Adults, Elderly, Aged and Aged Care Facilities. The reference lists of the selected publications were also reviewed. Articles published only in English have been chosen.Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.16 (1); Jan 2017; Page 3-6

Procedure for determining transport and warehousing systems characteristics in industrial enterprises in megapolis

Abstract. The most common problem among a vast variety of design and performance management problems for the industrial enterprises supply chain networks is determining transport and storage processes' characteristics in the areas of high population density. The divergence of the logistic structure development in the area has a major influence on the choice of location for the warehouses and the characteristics of the corresponding material flows. This article addresses the issues of determining transport and warehousing systems characteristics in a major population center and its suburbs. In particular, this means the warehouse location and the delivery lot sizes. The article suggests a procedure for solving this problem based on a set of mathematical models using linear and non-linear optimization via the standard algorithms of common computer software like Microsoft Excel, Mathcad, MatLab, etc.
