• Newswise - The evidence does not support the common belief that indwelling catheters cause more urinary tract infections (UTIs) than intermittent catheterization, according to a systematic review of bladder management and infection risk from UTHealth Houston . (newswise.com)
  • The belief that intermittent catheterization results in fewer infections than indwelling catheters is commonly expressed in spinal cord injury literature, with many practice guidelines strongly recommending intermittent over indwelling catheterization due to concerns about infections and other implications. (newswise.com)
  • Davis sought to compare risk of bias in studies reporting higher rates of UTI with indwelling catheters to studies that found equal rates of UTI between indwelling and intermittent catheterization, and to determine the implications of that bias in clinical decision-making. (newswise.com)
