All randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs comparing timing of catheter removal post-transplantation were eligible for inclusion. All donor types were included, and all recipients were inc...
Results from the literature search were screened by two authors to identify if they met our inclusion criteria. We designated removal of a urinary catheter before five days (120 hours) as an 'early re...
Two studies (197 patients) were included in our analysis. One study comprised a full-text article, and the other was a conference abstract with very limited information. The risk of bias in the includ...
A high-quality, well-designed RCT is required to compare the effectiveness of early catheter removal versus late catheter removal in patients following a kidney transplant. At the present time, there ...
This systematic review examines the prevalence of indwelling urinary catheters in nursing home residents....
MEDLINE via PubMed, CINAHL, and EMBASE were searched from inception to 9 August 2022. Cross-sectional studies and longitudinal studies with cross-sectional analyses reporting catheter prevalence in nu...
Sixty-seven studies (92.5 % cross-sectional) were included. The reported number of included residents ranged from 73 to 110,656. The median catheter prevalence was 7.3 % (interquartile range 4.3-10.1 ...
Catheter prevalence in nursing home residents varies between studies and countries. Prevalence differences by sex, age, and catheter type as well as duration of catheterization, catheter change interv...

The Asia Pacific Society of Infection Control launched the APSIC guide for prevention of catheter associated urinary tract infections in July 2022. It aims to highlight practical recommendations in a ...
The guidelines were developed by an appointed workgroup comprising experts in the Asia Pacific region, following reviews of previously published guidelines and recommendations relevant to each section...
It recommends that healthcare institutions have a catheter associated urinary tract infection prevention program that includes surveillance and the use of the insertion and maintenance bundles. Implem...
Healthcare facilities should aim for excellence in care of patients with urinary catheters. It is recommended that healthcare facilities have a catheter associated urinary tract infection prevention p...
The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the gold standard for males with urinary incontinence. It is generally a safe procedure with a high degree of satisfaction. However, there is a lifelong risk ...
All AUS cuff sizes available (3.5 cm up to 6.0 cm), catheter sizes between 12 and 22 Fr, and scope sizes 19 Fr flexible/rigid, 21-26 Fr rigid scopes were examined. We used deflated assembled cuffs on ...
For 3.5 cm cuffs, 12 Fr catheters pass easily and safely, 14-16 Fr catheters and 19 Fr flexible/rigid scopes can pass through with some mild risk of trauma. Larger catheter/scope sizes cannot pass thr...
Our study can guide urologists in the management of patients with an AUS who need urethral catheters or endoscopy. These recommendations are based on the measurements of our study along with bulbar ur...
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition in women. Adequate timing of urinary catheter removal after vaginal prolapse surgery is essential to reduce post-operative morbidity. We compared midnight r...
We performed a retrospective cohort study among 266 women undergoing vaginal prolapse surgery, of whom 132 women had urinary catheter removal at midnight and 134 women morning after surgery. We compar...
Retention occurred less after midnight removal of the urinary catheter, compared to removal next morning (6.1 % versus 23.9 %, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the time till catheter removal and discharge fro...
Our results suggest that early removal of the indwelling urinary catheter after vaginal prolapse surgery seems save with respect to urinary retention and leads to earlier mobilization and shorter hosp...
Mortality rates are used to assess the quality of hospital care after appropriate adjustment for case-mix. Urinary catheters are frequent in hospitalized adults and might be a marker of patient frailt...
The study population included all acutely admitted adult patients in 2020 (exploratory cohort) and January-October 2021 (validation cohort) to internal medicine, cardiology and intensive care departme...
