Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections in Surgical Patients: a Controlled Study on the Excess Morbidity and costs
Abstract
The increased hospital stay and excess hospitalization costs that resulted from Foley catheter-associated urinary tract infection after 5 common surgical procedures were evaluated in a case-matched and controlled study. Nosocomial urinary tract infections increased postoperative hospital stay by an average of 2.4 days (p equals 0.017) and increased hospital costs by $558 per patient. Recommendations for prevention of urinary catheter-associated infections can be assessed accurately by comparison to the parameters of morbidity and cost.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
