A Prospective Study of Risk Factors for Catheter Associated Bacteriuria in Medical Wards
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Most of the urinary tract infections (UTI) occur due to urinary catheterization. UTI is common cause of sepsis, morbidity and death. So the present study was aimed to determine relative risk factors for catheter associated bacteriuria (CAB) such as age, gender, diabetes mellitus, duration of catheterization and duration hospital stay in medical wards. This prospective study was conducted on128 patients meeting the requirements of inclusion criteria. A quantitative urine culture was performed once weekly or prior to removal of catheter or when clinical manifestations of UTI occurred. Fisher’s Exact test was used for categorical variables. The relative risk was calculated with 95% CI. Duration of catheterization (P=0.0307*) and duration of hospital stay in medical wards (P=0.0027**) both were found as the risk factors of catheter associated bacteriuria. Age, gender, diabetes mellitus were not found as significant risk factors. We did not find that giving antibiotics is a protective factor
