Description
Summary:	Introduction The risk factors described associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) during urethral catheterization are the colonization of the urinary tissue during evaluation. The incidence of UTI is directly related to the duration of the catheterization, and, after considering this ever-present factor in multivariate analysis, it is the main and most important risk factor for UTI. [...]a simple noninvasive method for determining the volume of urine in the bladder would be very well received.
