5. Use of urinary catheters conveys a substantial risk of urinary tract infection (UTI). A group of physicians believe that use of one type of urinary catheter is more likely to encourage infection than use of other types in an intensive care setting. They planned a study to review medical records over a 5 year period for all users of urinary catheters in an ICU presented in Table 2.

   Table 2: Distribution of number of patients and new UTI's by type of catheter

   Types of catheter	Number of patients	Number of new UTI's
   Suspected type of catheter	1000	200
   All other catheters	5000	100

   Noting the increased frequency of new UTI's when the suspect catheter type is used, they regard their hypothesis as confirmed. To reduce nosocomial UTI's, they recommend discontinuing use of that type of catheter in the ICU.
