Question


  1. What is the clinical effectiveness of coated catheters compared to standard non-coated catheters for patients requiring long-term urinary catheter use for the prevention of urinary tract infections and blockage?

  2. What is the cost-effectiveness of coated catheters compared to standard non-coated catheters for patients requiring long-term catheter use?

  3. What are the evidence-based guidelines regarding urinary catheters for patients requiring long-term catheter use?


Key Message

Three systematic reviews, one randomized controlled trial, and one non-randomized study were identified regarding the effectiveness of coated catheters for the prevention of urinary tract infections and blockage. In addition, five evidence-based guidelines were identified regarding urinary catheters for patients requiring long-term catheter use.
