This historical comparative study examined rates of urinary catheterization over two 3-month periods, before and after a policy change with more restrictive indications for catheter use. The study aimed to determine if rates of catheterization decreased after implementing a policy with more limited reasons for when catheters could be used. The methods section describes that this was an observational study comparing catheterization rates during the two time periods around a change in catheterization policy.
