  • Evidence of Bundled Interventions and Multimodal Strategies in the Mollification of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) in the General Healthcare Settings: A Systematic Review

    Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) constitute one of the most prevalent healthcare-associated infections, which contemporarily accounts for over 30% of nosocomial infections globally. Despite proven advances made towards the establishment of effective prevention strategies, the clinical and economic burden of CAUTIs remains significant. This is attributed to inconsistent implementation and compliance to evidence-based practices. This
