Abstract

The impact of the 2013 NHSN CAUTI definition on CAUTI rates was analyzed. A total of 107 CAUTI episodes were identified; 60 according to NHSN 2013 definitions only and 47 according to the 2012 and 2013 definitions. Physician-diagnosed “other infections” were more common among patients who had CAUTI only according to NHSN 2013 definitions (P<.001).
