“…In a 38-month prospective observational study involving 128 patients with acute spinal cord injuries, the incidence rates per 100 person-days for CA-bacteriuria and CA-UTI, respectively, were 5 and 2.72 cases for men with indwelling urethral catheters (128 patients), 2.95 and 0.41 cases for men with clean intermittent catheterization (124 patients), 2.41 and 0.36 cases for men with condom catheters (41 patients), and 0.96 and 0.34 cases for women with suprapubic catheterization (10 patients), respectively [25]. Although there are no randomized, controlled trials that have compared long-term catheterization methods (intermittent urethral catheterization, indwelling urethral or suprapubic catheterization, and external catheter for men) in managing voiding problems in patients with [159] or without neurogenic bladders, clean intermittent catheterization has become the standard of care for appropriate women and men with spinal cord injuries [16]. In addition, clean intermittent catheterization is a more commonly used alternative in men with bladder atonia and elderly patients who need assistance with voiding [21,77,160].…”
