We aimed to validate the use of point-prevalence to identify catheter-associated urinary tract infections against the gold standard of incidence densities. We did not find a significant association, and hence our findings do not support the common practice of using point-prevalence as a less resource intensive method for catheter-associated urinary tract infections surveillance.
我们旨在通过现患率调查来验证其识别导管相关性尿路感染的效果，以发病率密度作为金标准。我们并未发现两者之间存在显著关联，因此，我们的研究结果并不支持将现患率调查作为一种资源消耗较少的导管相关性尿路感染监测方法的常用做法。
