Factors associated with specific uropathogens in catheter-associated urinary tract infection: Developing a clinical prediction model

Conclusions
Clinical prediction rules developed for identifying specific groups of bacterial uropathogens in patients with CA–UTI had a low sensitivity, whereas those for fungal infections showed good discriminatory power. Further studies to develop more refined and sensitive tools for predicting specific bacterial uropathogens in CA–UTI are warranted.
