- Abstract: This retrospective study describes inpatient healthcare‐associated bloodstream infections (HABSI) in older adults and explores whether urinary catheters (presence/insertion/removal) were related to HABSI events. One hundred and sixty‐seven HABSI events were identified, predominantly (124, 74%) with Gram‐negative bacteria. HABSI was attributed to a urinary source in 110 patients (66%), with over half (63, 57%) of these associated with urinary catheters. Catheter‐associated HABSI may be avoidable and potential preventative strategies are discussed.
