Prevention of Catheter-Induced Urinary-Tract Infections by Sterile Closed Drainage
Abstract
THE indwelling urinary catheter is an essential part of modern medical care. It is widely used to give temporary relief of anatomic or physiologic urinary obstruction, facilitate surgical repair of the urethra and surrounding structures, provide a dry environment for comatose or incontinent patients and permit accurate measurement of urinary output in severely ill patients. Unfortunately, when poorly managed, the indwelling catheter may present a hazard to the very patients it is designed to protect. It is the leading cause of nosocomial, induced urinary-tract infections.1 2 3 A number of approaches to the problem of the care of the catheter have been . . .

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.
