摘要: We describe and compare the epidemiology of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) occurring in non-intensive care unit (ICU) versus ICU wards a network community hospitals over 2-year period. Overall, 72% cases CAUTI occurred non-ICU patients, which indicates that this population is an important target for dedicated surveillance prevention efforts.
