Risk factors for Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) in sepsis patients at RSPAD GATOT SOEBROTO 2022: a quantitative study
Abstract
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most dominant case, around 40% of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). UTI related to catheter placement called as Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI). Catheterization is considered as a port of entry that lead to infection. In sepsis patients, CAUTI can significantly affect clinical outcomes. Prolonged CAUTI can worsen but can be prevented via suitable intervention, particularly in septic patients with urine catheters. To effectively prevent and manage diseases, gathering data focusing on surveillance is essential. Hence, examining multiple risk variables associated with CAUTI is vital, including age, gender, diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, frequency and duration of catheterization, and duration of antibiotic usage before urine culture. Method: A quantitative study using a cross-sectional design by selecting samples using total sampling was conducted at RSPAD Gatot Soebroto (n=42). All sepsis patients using catheters met the inclusion criteria. The data obtained was analysed (univariate, bivariate and multivariate), which will be presented in table and narrative format. Results: It was found that 21 sepsis patients with catheters confirmed CAUTI. Risk factors in septic patients with catheters that have a significant relationship with CAUTI are diabetes mellitus (p=0.013), kidney failure (p=0.005), length of stay (p=0.013), duration of antibiotic usage before urine culture (p=0.031), frequency of…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cross-sectional, done in people. Its evidence level is 4 of 5 (Low · observational). Observational designs can show an association but not prove cause. Reported size: 42 participants or records.
