Paraphrase-CAUTIs are diagnosed in hospitalized patients when a UTI occurs after an indwelling urinary catheter has been in place for two or more consecutive days.2 The day of catheter insertion is considered day 1.2 CAUTIs can lead to complications such as pyelonephritis and gram-negative bacteremia.2 CAUTI-related complications can also prolong hospital stays by two to four days and result in patient discomfort and increased health care costs and mortality.
