The association of indwelling urinary catheter with delirium in hospitalized patients and nursing home residents: an explorative analysis from the “Delirium Day 2015”

Backround Use of indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) in older adults has negative consequences, including delirium.

Abstract

Backround Use of indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) in older adults has negative consequences, including delirium. Aim This analysis, from the “Delirium Day 2015”, a nationwide multicenter prevalence study, aim to evaluate the associa- tion of IUC with delirium in hospitalized and Nursing Homes (NHs) patients. Methods Patients underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment, including the presence of IUC; inclusion criteria were age > 65 years, being Italian speaker and providing informed consent; exclusion criteria were coma, aphasia, end-of-life status. Delirium was assessed using the 4AT test (score ≥ 4: possible delirium; scores 1–3: possible cognitive impairment). Results Among 1867 hospitalized patients (mean age 82.0 ± 7.5 years, 58% female), 539 (28.9%) had IUC, 429 (22.9%) delirium and 675 (36.1%) cognitive impairment. IUC was significantly associated with cognitive impairment (OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.19–2.16) and delirium (2.45, 95% CI 1.73–3.47), this latter being significant also in the subset of patients without dementia (OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.52–3.43). Inattention and impaired alertness were also independently associated with IUC. Among 1454 NHs residents (mean age 84.4 ± 7.4 years, 70.% female), 63 (4.3%) had IUC, 535 (36.8%) a 4AT score ≥ 4, and 653 (44.9%) a 4AT score 1–3. The multivariate logistic regression
