Clinical outcomes of female external urine wicking devices as alternatives to indwelling catheters: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This systematic review and meta-analysis looked at clinical risks and benefits of female external urine wicking devices (FEUWDs) as alternatives to indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) for incontinence management. A literature search was conducted, and 50 studies were systematically reviewed. Following FEUWD implementation, IUC utilization rates decreased 14% and indwelling catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) rates nonsignificantly decreased up to 32%. Limited only to studies that described protocols for implementation, the incidence rate of indwelling CAUTIs decreased significantly up to 54%.
