Antibiotic policies for short-term catheter bladder drainage in adults

Suprapubic bladder drainage and epidural catheters following abdominal surgery—A risk for urinary tract infections?

“…However, the quality of evidence is low and the studies limited [14,15]. Bonkat et al showed catheter-associated bacteriuria with suprapubic catheters in 95% of cases and UTIs in 11% [12], which is comparable to the rates in patients with transurethral catheters [20] and with the data presented here. Bouchet-Doumenq et al also showed comparable infection rates in patients with a suprapubic and transurethral bladder catheter [13].…”

Antibiotic prophylaxis in children with ureteric stents: Bliss or misery?

“…As stated in other researches, the Cochrane database has shown few feeble results that antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the rate of UTI and bacteriuria. [2] However, in this study, it was proven that antibiotic prophylaxis usage reduced significantly the incidence of symptomatic UTI by 68%. This result can only be supported, up to the recently published articles, by Lusardi, who meta-analyzed studies concerning the antibiotic prophylaxis for such procedure in adults, and the limited evidence elucidated similar outcome, aside from reduction in other infection morbid manifestations such as pyrexia and pyuria.…”

The Association between Age, Sex, and Hospital-Acquired Infection Rates: Results from the 2009-2011 National Medicare Patient Safety Monitoring System

“…This relationship was not seen in females with pneumonia, possibly related to the fact that patients with pneumonia receive systemic antibiotic treatment, which may prevent certain HAIs, including VAP 15 and CAUTI. 16 Although there are not likely to be sex-specific differences in…”
