Article Synopsis
- Hospital-acquired urinary tract infections (HAUTI), especially those related to catheters (CAUTI), are common in hospitals and require surveillance to manage and reduce infections.
- The study compared surveillance criteria for HAUTI and CAUTI from the Israeli Ministry of Health (IMOH) and the U.S. CDC, involving 644 patients with positive urine cultures in 2017.
- Results showed that HAUTI rates were higher per IMOH guidelines, with a significant discrepancy in diagnosis methods that emphasizes the need for a uniform surveillance approach globally to better allocate resources and improve outcomes.
