Bacteriuria and Indwelling Urinary Catheter.

Investigation of 1. The incidence of symptomatic bacteriuria during four weeks after removal of an IUC in inpatients at a rehabilitation clinic for patients ≥ 65 years compared with the incidence of symptomatic bacteriuria among inpatients not treated with an IUC and 2. For how long does ABU persist in inpatients at a rehabilitation clinic for patients

≥ 65 years during a follow-up time of four weeks after IUC-removal?
