Both long (> 30 days) and short-term (≤ 30 days) catheterisation has been associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to the invasive nature of device insertion through the urethra. Catheter a...
A Systematic Literature Review was conducted in Ovid Medline, Web of Science and PubMed, to identify studies which investigated the incidence of UTI and the causative micro-organisms, in patients with...
A total of 890 articles were identified, but only 26 unique articles met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this review. Amongst the large cohort there were catheters of materials silicone, latex an...
There does not appear to be a catheter type, which can significantly reduce the incidence of CAUTI's in patients requiring catheterisation. Ultimately, this warrants further research to identify and d...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether oxybuprocaine hydrochloride gel could alleviate pain during male catheterization....
Between September 2021 and March 2022, a randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Urology Department of Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital (China). A total of 192 adult male patients re...
At the baseline, there was no significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in preoperative pain scores between the test group (mean ± SD = 20.04 ± 2.68 mm) and th...
The use of oxybuprocaine hydrochloride gel significantly reduced pain during male urethral catheterization. The study provides evidence for clinicians to use oxybuprocaine hydrochloride gel during mal...
CAUTIs (catheter-associated urinary tract infections) continue to be one of the most common health-care-related illnesses in the entire globe. CAUTIs are the cause of 40% of all hospital-acquired infe...

To evaluate the incidence and frequency of symptomatic urinary tract infection (sUTI) in persons with spinal cord lesion (SCL) using different types of catheters based on an internet survey in Japan....
An internet survey....
We conducted an Internet survey of persons with SCL who were considered to be able to perform intermittent self-catheterization (ISC). We evaluated the incidence and frequency of sUTI over the last ye...
Two-hundred and eighty-two persons were analyzed. In the ISC and IDC groups, sUTI occurred in 52.2% and 31.4% of persons (p = 0.021), respectively, in the last year, and the frequencies were 2.8 and 3...
sUTI occurred in about 1 in 2 persons with SCL performing ISC, which was significantly higher than in the IDC group, and the frequency of sUTI in persons performing ISC was about 3 times a year. The d...
Cervical cancer (CC) patients receiving indwelling catheterization after radical hysterectomy (RH) are vulnerable to urinary tract infection (UTI). However, no model or method is available to predict ...
We first collected clinical information of 380 patients receiving ICa-RCCS from January 2020 to December 2021 as a training cohort to develop the risk nomogram. UTI was then evaluated using 19 UTI pre...
Predictors in the risk nomogram included indwelling catheterization duration, whether it is secondary indwelling catheterization, history of UTIs, age, and history of chemotherapy before surgery. The ...
We developed a novel UTI nomogram incorporating the age, history of chemotherapy before surgery, indwelling catheterization duration, whether it is secondary indwelling catheterization, and history of...

The purpose of this multicenter study was to evaluate the clinical success at three months of prostate artery embolization (PAE), assess PAE safety in centers with various experiences and identify fac...
This multicenter, retrospective study included patients who underwent PAE for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) including those with indwelling urinary catheter. PAE clinical success was defined as ...
A total of 383 men (mean age, 68.4 ± 9.7 [standard deviation] years; range: 46-94) with LUTS, including 99 (25.8%) patients with indwelling urinary catheter, were included in seven centers from Januar...
Our results show that PAE is safe and effective in centers with various PAE experiences. Cardiovascular comorbidity is the single independent variable associated with PAE failure....
Our purpose was to evaluate the efficiency of manual bladder washout (MBW) for bladder retention by blood clot formation using urinary catheters. Three types of 22 Fr urinary catheters, a rounded tip ...
To investigate hygiene management and catheter maintenance of reusable silicone catheters for intermittent self-catheterization (ISC) in Japan and examine their relationship with symptomatic urinary t...
We conducted a cross-sectional Internet survey of people performing ISC using reusable silicone catheters owing to spinal cord lesions in Japan. Hygiene management and catheter maintenance of reusable...
Of 136 respondents, 62 (46%), 41 (30%), and 58 (43%) washed hands with water, washed hands with soap, and cleaned or disinfected the urethral meatus every time or most of the time before ISC, respecti...
There are individual differences in hygiene management and catheter maintenance of reusable silicone catheters, but the influence of these differences on the incidence and frequency of sUTI is not cle...
In April 2008, Medicare amended its policy for clean intermittent catheterization, increasing coverage from 4 reused catheters per month to up to 200 single-use catheters. The primary reason for the p...
We accessed data for the years 1995 to 2020 from the National Spinal Cord Injury Database focusing on 1-year follow-up in those unable to volitionally void after injury. We asked 2 questions: (1) Did ...
During the study period, 2,657 of the 6,843 (38.8%) participants unable to volitionally void after spinal cord injury were hospitalized during their first follow-up year. Of the cohort performing clea...
Our findings suggest the 2008 policy change shifting clean intermittent catheterization coverage from catheter reuse to single-use did not decrease hospitalizations for urinary tract infection or incr...
To investigate the trial of spontaneous urination without catheter (TWOC) outcomes for men with acute urinary retention, determine successful TWOC predictors, and evaluate the impact of add-on medicat...
This retrospective study included men with acute urinary retention and post-void residual (PVR) >250 mL who underwent TWOC between July 2009 and July 2019. Patients were divided into a medicated group...
Among 576 men with urinary retention, 269 (46.7%) constituted the medicated group and 307 (53.3%) the naïve. The naïve group comprised more elderly patients (P = 0.010) with higher Eastern Cooperative...
This is the first study classifying patients with urinary retention according to medication status. Both medicated and naïve groups had different patient backgrounds and TWOC outcome predictors, sugge...
