  • Catheterisation is a significant source of nosocomial infections, which can be fatal.
  • Neoplastic changes have also been linked to long-term catheter use.

    • Conclusions:

    • Urinary catheterisation should only be employed after all alternative interventions have been exhausted.
    • Minimising catheter use is crucial for patient safety and reducing healthcare-associated infections.
