“…Several studies of the effect of incorporating antibiotics such as rifampicin and minocycline (Darouchie et al, 1999) or silver based alloys (Newton et al, 2002) into the catheter have shown benefit. Although clearly more costly than standard catheters, economic evaluation shows silver alloy catheters to be cost effective when used in patients needing catheterization for several days (Plowman et al, 2001). The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria of pregnancy is approximately 5%, about a third of these women proceed to develop acute pyelonephritis, with its attendant consequences for the health of both mother and pregnancy.…”

Diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) causing pathogens with their sensitivity to different antibiotics was performed with a total of 96 samples from both male (n=31; 32.3%) and female (n=65; 67.7%) of different age groups. Out of 96 urine samples, 55 (57.3%) were found positive after culturing in MacConkey agar plates. The percent distribution of positive cases against collected samples was higher for female (67%) than male (32%). However, female and male at the reproductive age of 16-30 years were more susceptible to UTI. A total of 55 bacterial isolates were identified by conventional methods and their antibiotic sensitivity was tested using MuellerHinton agar plates. The predominant isolates were Escherichia coli (34.5%), Klebsiella sp. (18.2%) and Staphylococci (20.0%). The sensitivity pattern for most of the isolated organisms showed 50% and/or higher sensitivity to imipenem, azithromycin and cephalexin, except Staphylococci (only 9.09% to azithromycin).

“…2 It has been argued that the economic benefits of prevention are likely to exceed the costs. 3 " 5 Data on the costs of hospital-acquired infection and the cost-effectiveness of prevention programs should be made available to policymakers. However, before these data can be procured, it is necessary to understand the size and the extent of the problem.…”

“…For the background to our planned economic evaluation we performed a systematic literature search that identified 400 economic studies, of which six reports 5,[60][61][62][63][64] and two systematic reviews 65,66 were deemed relevant, although only one was from the perspective of the UK NHS.…”

“…A UK NHS-based study 61 reported that if routine use of silver alloy-coated catheters was adopted, and assuming an additional cost of £9 per catheter, lower costs of extra hospital stay in medical patients, and a baseline risk for CAUTI of 7.3%, relative risk reductions in CAUTI of 14.6% in catheterised medical patients, and of 11.4% in catheterised surgical patients were required before cost savings could be made.…”

HTATypes of urethral catheter for reducing symptomatic urinary tract infections in hospitalised adults requiring short-term catheterisation: multicentre randomised controlled trial and economic evaluation of antimicrobial-and antiseptic-impregnated urethral catheters (the CATHETER trial) NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in t...
