The evidence-based guidelines encompass diagnostic criteria, strategies to reducethe risk of CA-UTIs, strategies that have not been found to reduce the incidence of urinary infections, andmanagement strategies for patients with catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria or symptomatic urinarytract infection. These guidelines are intended for use by physicians in all medical specialties who performdirect patient care, with an emphasis on the care of patients in hospitals and long-term care facilities.
