Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Investigation of 1. The incidence of symptomatic bacteriuria during four weeks after removal of an IUC in inpatients at a rehabilitation clinic for patients ≥ 65 years compared with the incidence of symptomatic bacteriuria among inpatients not treated with an IUC and 2. For how long does ABU persist in inpatients at a rehabilitation clinic for patients

≥ 65 years during a follow-up time of four weeks after IUC-removal?
