Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is associated generally with worse outcomes among hospitalized patients, but the impact of CAUTI on clinical outcomes is poorly described in trauma patients. We hypothesized that trauma patients with CAUTI would have worse outcomes such as longer length of stay (LOS), fewer discharges to home, and higher outcome of death.

创伤患者中导管相关的尿路感染：护理质量差还是有效救援的标志？
