*Includes

** Foley infection

** suprapubic catheter-related infection.

*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.

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

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

*This code '''can be used''' as an '''[[Admit Diagnosis]]''' for someone admitted from outside the hospital with acute infection from an indwelling urinary catheter (i.e. the it can be iatrogenic even if it doesn't happen in hospital).

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