Abstract
CAUTI is the most prevalent nosocomial infections, especially in patients with medical ICU. The purpose of this study is to determine the independent risk factors for catheter-associated bacteria in the medical ICU such as age, sex, period of catheterization, length of stay in the hospital and antibiotic exposure during hospitalization. The 25% of hospitalized patients undergo urinary catheterisation and the incidence of infection is approximately 5-7% for each day of catheterisation. Out of the 196 patients 30 (15.30 %) patients were detected to have CAUTI. Catheterisation period was established as the most important independent risk factor for CAB and prior antibiotic exposure was not found to be a protective factor.
