Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and non-CAUTI hospital-onset urinary tract infections: Relative burden, cost, outcomes and related hospital-onset bacteremia and fungemia infections.
Observational study in Infection control and hospital epidemiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo describe the relative burden of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and non-CAUTI hospital-onset urinary tract infections (HOUTIs).
methodsA retrospective observational study of patients from 43 acute-care hospitals was conducted. CAUTI cases were defined as those reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network. Non-CAUTI HOUTI was defined as a positive, non-contaminated, non-commensal culture collected on day 3 or later. All HOUTIs were required to have a new antimicrobial prescribed within 2 days of the first positive urine culture. Outcomes included secondary hospital-onset bacteremia and fungemia (HOB), total hospital costs, length of stay (LOS), readmission risk, and mortality.
resultsOf 549,433 admissions, 434 CAUTIs and 3,177 non-CAUTI HOUTIs were observed. The overall rate of HOB likely secondary to HOUTI was 3.7%. Total numbers of secondary HOB were higher in non-CAUTI HOUTIs compared to CAUTI (101 vs 34). HOB secondary to non-CAUTI HOUTI was more likely to originate outside the ICU compared to CAUTI (69.3% vs 44.1%). CAUTI was associated with adjusted incremental total hospital cost and LOS of $9,807 (
conclusionCAUTI and non-CAUTI HOUTI were associated with deleterious outcomes. Non-CAUTI HOUTI occurred more often and was associated with a higher facility aggregate volume of HOB than CAUTI. Patients at risk for UTIs in the hospital represent a vulnerable population who may benefit from surveillance and prevention efforts, particularly in the non-ICU setting.
