Urease-positive bacteriuria and obstruction of long-term urinary catheters
Open accessAbstract
Long-term urethral catheterization (greater than or equal to 30 days), a management technique for urinary incontinence, results in polymicrobial bacteriuria. We frequently found urease-producing bacteria: of 1,135 weekly urine specimens from 32 long-term-catheterized patients, 86% had urease-positive bacterial species at greater than or equal to 10(5) CFU/ml. The most common species were Proteus mirabilis and Morganella morganii, each found in over half the specimens. P. mirabilis, but not other urease-positive species, was significantly associated with the 67 obstructions observed in 23 patients. M. morganii had a more complex association and in some way may protect the catheter from obstruction.

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.
