| Popis: | Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs) pose a significant challenge in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19. Objective: The study aims to assess the prevalence of CA-UTIs, identify the causative pathogens and their resistance profiles, and determine the risk factors and outcomes associated with CA-UTIs in ICU patients with COVID-19. Design: Single-center, retrospective cohort study. Methods: The study included 201 adult ICU patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 2020 and July 2021. Patients were categorized into CA-UTI ( n = 56) and non-CA-UTI ( n = 145) groups. Data on demographic characteristics, clinical course, treatment, and outcomes were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for CA-UTI. Results: CA-UTIs developed in 28% of patients ( n = 56). Incidence density of 15.8 episodes per 1000 catheter days. The average onset occurrence is 7.2 days after ICU admission. Patients with CA-UTI had longer ICU stays (18.8 days vs 10.5 days, p |
