Abstract

Background: Urinary tract infections caused by bladder catheterization are among the most common infections in healthcare settings. In Vietnam, UTIs account for about 25% of hospital infections, of which 80% of UTIs are related to urinary catheterization. Research objectives: Determine the rate of urinary tract infections related to bladder catheters and understand the causes of nosocomial urinary tract infections related to bladder catheters. Subjects and research methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. The study subjects included 98 patients with bladder catheterization over 48 hours at the Toxicology Department, Nghe An Hospital from January 2022 to August 2022. Results: The frequency of urinary tract infections related to bladder catheters was 17.2 patients per 1000 days of catheterization, with the incidence of patients over 50 years old being the highest with 58.54%, in which the male rate is only higher than that of female (70.6%). Time from insertion of catheter to diagnosis of nosocomial urinary tract infection was 8.6 ± 5.72 days. The rate of UTI was most common in the group with a catheter retention time of 8-14 days with 50%. Clinical symptoms of patients with UTI were mainly fever with 66.67%. Conclusion: The rate of urinary tract infections related to bladder catheters is high, with a large proportion of men over 50 years old. With characteristics such as the time of insertion of the sonde from 8.6 days and the main clinical symptom is fever
