Abstract
Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate trends and regional differences in the use of indwelling and intermittent urinary catheters in the community setting in the Netherlands from 2012 to 2021.
Design and methods: For this population-based cohort study, data on catheter use was collected from the Drug and Medical Devices Information System of the National Healthcare Institute of the Netherlands. This database contains information on the Dutch insured population, which was 100% of the total population in 2018. Users were divided into 12 provinces according to the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics codes. The number of catheter users was adjusted for the total population of the provinces by sex and age, and was expressed by users per 100,000 people. Negative binomial regression (NBR) was used to test for differences in clean intermittent catheter (CIC) and indwelling catheter (IDC) users across Dutch provinces.
Results: Between 2012 and 2021, IDC users increased by 44.6% from 41,619 to 60,172, and CIC users increased by 27.3% from 34,204 to 43,528. The greatest increases were mainly observed among IDC users over 85 years old and male CIC users over 65 years old. NBR showed significant differences for IDC and CIC users between the 12 provinces. CIC incidence was higher in Drenthe and Groningen (Northern Netherlands) compared to Zuid-Holland (Southern Netherlands). IDC incidence was higher in seven provinces dispersed throughout the Netherlands compared to Noord-Holland.
Conclusion: CIC and IDC users have continued to increase in recent years; this was especially observed among older men. In addition, there were regional differences in the number of CIC and IDC users; CIC was more prominent in the northern region of the Netherlands, and IDC varied between multiple provinces. Practice variation in urinary catheterization may result from patient population differences or healthcare provider preferences and their alignment with guidelines.
