    Abstract
    Catheter-associated urinary tract infections account for 35-45 % of all nosocomial infections, making the urinary tract the most frequent site of hospital acquired infections. A non-experimental study was conducted to collect data identifying the risks of developing a catheter associated nosocomial urinary tract infection at a community hospital in Northwest Pennsylvania. The sample size for this study consisted of 48 patients, 25 in the surgery group and 23 in the nonsurgery group.
