ADVANCED LEVELS OF CLINICAL INQUIRY AND SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS
Description of the chosen clinical issue
- CAUTI is the most common infection that an individual can contract in the hospital according NHSN.
- Approximately 75% of UTIs infections are associated with CAUTI.
- It is caused by an indwelling catheters infection.
- The infection affects any part of the urinary system, such as urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidney.
UTIs is the most common type of healthcare associated infection according to NHSN (Ferguson, 2018). Approximately 15-25 percent of hospitalized patients receive urinary catheter during their stay in hospital. The most common risk of acquiring catheter associated CAUTI is long usage of the urinary catheter.

PICOT Question
P: Population | Patients admitted in the intensive care unit and nurses taking care of them |
I: Intervention | Training nurses and other clinical experts. |
C: Comparison | Versus implementation of a daily checklist for reviewing the indication of indwelling urinary catheters |
O: Outcome | To prevent CAUTI and improve care for indwelling catheters |
T: Time | Doing several years study? |
I focused on the forefront questions while searching for the correct answers and facts for the clinical issue so as to prevent uncertainity.The population that will be studied are patients in the intensive unit in both government and private health facilities. The main intervention being considered is training nurse and other clinical experts to improve their understanding on how to prevent CAUTI and to care for patients with indwelling urinary catheters. The study will be carried out for several years.

Level of Evidence
Citation | Evidence Level |
(Parker et al, 2017) | Level V |
(Scanlon, 2017). | Level IV |
(Ferguson, 2018). | Level III |
(Menegueti et al, 2019) | Level III |
Parker et al, (2017), is at level V of evidence because it provides evidence of systematic reviews of descriptive and qualitative studies that are commonly referred to mixed methods. Scanlon, (2017), is a cohort study hence level IV of evidence. Both Ferguson, (2018) and Menegueti et al, (2019) are of level of evidence because the data was obtained from well-designed control trials without randomization.

Benefits of systematic review and examples
- Give clear and comprehensive overview of the available evidence on a given topic e.g. Implementing a CAUTI Prevention Program in an Acute Care Hospital Setting.
- Identifies methodological concerns that can be used to improve the study e.g. understand contradictions between qualitative findings and quantitative results.
- Allow predictions and testable hypothesis for example, the effect of educating health care professionals concerning indwelling urinary tract catheter
Systematic review provides a number of benefits such as identifying, evaluating and summarizing the findings for all relevant individual studies over a health concern (Scanlon, 2017).
