*Here is the CDC definition we will use:

**UTI where an indwelling urinary catheter was in place for >2 calendar days (or >48 hrs) as of the date the infection was identified as being present AND the catheter was in place on the day the infection was identified or the day before --- this latter phrase allows for diagnosing a urinary catheter-related infection the day after it was removed (but no later than that) if it had been in place >2 days or 48 hours prior to removal.

*This code identifies the mechanism of the infection, you must also code the infection (e.g. cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc).

*Includes either Foley or suprapubic catheter-related infection.

*You can code this as an '''[Admit Diagnosis]]''' for someone admitted from outside the hospital with acute infection from an indwelling urinary catheter.

*This is one of a number of different types of iatrogenic injury codes. Here is information about all of them; [[Iatrogenic codes in ICD10]]

~~{{Discuss | who = Allan | question = Is this code to be included as an [[Admit Diagnosis]] for patients admitted from home with acute infections acquired from indwelling foley/suprapubic catheters? }}~~

~~{{Discuss | who = Allan | question = At 2018-07-25 task meeting you said you wanted to add criteria to this. this just to put it on your list.}}~~
