Sumario:OBJECTIVES: To investigate the pathogens and potential risk factors for urinary tract infection (UTI) in patients with retained double-J catheters (DJCs). METHODS: In total, 107 infants and young children with DJCs were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were included in the infection group (n = 30) or non-infection group (n = 77), according to UTI presence or absence. The species and characteristics of pathogens were investigated, and the clinical features of the patients were recorded for further analysis. RESULTS: Gram-negative bacilli were the most common causative pathogens (69.2%), among which Escherichia coli was most frequent (38.5%). The second most common causative pathogens were Gram-positive cocci (28.2%), among which Enterococcus faecalis was most frequent (10.3%). UTIs among patients in this study were associated with the following factors: catheter retention (long-term) (odds ratio [OR] = 2.514, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.176–5.373), sex (male) (OR = 2.966, 95% CI = 1.032–8.529), DJC retention (long-term) (OR = 1.869, 95% CI = 1.194–2.926), and DJC number (unilateral) (OR = 0.309, 95% CI = 0.103–0.922). CONCLUSIONS: Infants and young children with DJCs were likely to experience UTIs, mainly caused by Gram-negative bacilli. Long-term catheter retention or DJC retention, male sex, and bilateral DJC retention were risk factors for UTI.
