This is my PICOT Question: Amongst patient admitted to the hospital with an indwelling urinary catheter (P), does removal of the indwelling catheter within 24 to 48 hours (I), in comparison to leaving it inserted for the duration of the hospital stay (C), will decrease the amount of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) (O), over a 3-month time frame(T)?
