Abstract
Objectives: This review, conducted by a panel of experts assembled by the International Society for Infectious Diseases, seeks to consolidate the latest recommendations for preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). It offers insights into CAUTI rates and the associated extended hospital stays, costs, mortality, and risk factors across high- and low- to middle-income countries.
Methods: An in-depth review of current recommendations and evidence-based strategies for CAUTI prevention was undertaken. To develop practical preventive measures, the expert panel examined data on CAUTI incidence, related health care impacts, and risk factors across various economic contexts.
Results: The review highlights notable differences in CAUTI rates, health care costs, extended hospital stays, and mortality between high- and low- to middle-income countries. It emphasizes evidence-based strategies for CAUTI prevention, demonstrating their effectiveness across diverse health care environments.
Conclusions: This position paper offers recommendations and insights intended to assist health care professionals in effectively preventing CAUTIs. Implementing evidence-based preventive strategies has the potential to lower CAUTI rates, reduce related costs, and enhance patient outcomes in high- and low- to middle-income countries.
