A risk factor model for urinary tract infections in patients with adult neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction performing clean intermittent catheterisation was developed; it consists of four domains, namely, (1) general (systemic) conditions in the patient, (2) individual urinary tract conditions in the patient, (3) routine aspects related to the patient, and (4) factors related to intermittent catheters per se. The conceptual model primarily concerns patients with spinal cord injury, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, or cauda equina where intermittent catheterisation is a normal part of the bladder management. On basis of several literature searches and author consensus in case of lacking evidence, the model intends to provide an overview of the risk factors involved in urinary tract infections, with specific emphasis to describe those that in daily practice can be handled and modified by the clinician and so come to the benefit of the individual catheter user in terms of fewer urinary tract infections.

Lower urinary tract infections are currently an actual clinical and social problem due to the high prevalence, the need for an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment, the severity of the combination of disorders of urination and dyspareunia, which leads to the rejection of sexual life, violations of childbearing function. Timely and adequate diagnosis of urinary disorders in women with the identification of risk factors, concomitant diseases, pathogens allow to select a rational, primarily necessary antibacterial therapy that contributes not only to the patient’s getting rid of symptoms of the disease, but also prevents the transition of the disease into a chronic form.
