BMJ

The review concluded that patients with short-term urinary catheterisation might benefit from antimicrobial prophylaxis following catheter removal but it was important to identify the right patients. The authors acknowledged limitations in the review such as diverse populations and variation in treatment across studies. Their statement that it was difficult to make a standardised recommendation seems appropriate and reliable.
