Prevention Strategies for All Hospital-Onset Urinary Tract Infections: Best Practice Consensus Recommendations
These recommendations offer the foundation for a structured, scalable framework to reduce the burden of all HOUTIs, while also defining future research priorities. By harmonizing established CAUTI best practices with existing literature, and bridging current evidence gaps for non-CAUTI prevention and management with expert consensus, these recommendations provide a road map for improved prevention strategies for all HOUTIs.
