a 2014 systemic review concluded that using silver alloy‐coated catheters showed no significant difference in incidences of symptomatic catheter-associated urinary tract infections (cauti) versus using standard catheters, although silver-alloy catheters seemed to cause less discomfort to patients. these catheters are associated with greater cost than other catheters. a 2014 multicenter cohort study found that using a silver-alloy hydrogel urinary catheter did reduce symptomatic catheter-associated urinary tract infection (cauti) occurrences as defined by both nhsn and clinical criteria. a 2011 critical analysis of eight studies found a consistent pattern which supported using silver-alloy urinary catheters over uncoated catheters to reduce infections in adult patients, and concluded that using silver-alloy catheters would significantly improve patient care. a 2007 systemic review concluded that using silver-alloy indwelling catheters for short-term catheterizing will reduce the risk of catheter acquired urinary tract infection, but called for further studies to evaluate the economic benefits of using the expensive silver alloy-catheters. two systemic reviews in 2004 found that using silver-alloy catheters reduced asymptomatic and symptomatic bacteriuria more than standard catheters, for patients who were catheterised for a short time. a 2000 randomized crossover study found that using the more expensive silver-coated catheter may result in cost savings by preventing nosocomial uti infections, and another 2000 study found that using silver alloy catheters for short-term urinary catheterization reduces the incidence of symptomatic uti and bacteremia compared with standard catheters, and may thus yield cost savings.
