ObjectiveTo realize the current situation of prevention and control of catheterassociated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) since the development of healthcareassociated infection(HAI) management  in China in the recent 30 years. MethodsRandom cluster sampling was used to select 165 secondary and tertiary hospitals in 13 provinces and cities in China,  questionnaires were filled in, the content included time, scope, method, data feedback, and incidence of CAUTI monitoring. ResultsOf 165 hospitals, 92.12% (152/165)  have implemented targeted monitoring, the implementation rate in tertiary hospitals was higher than secondary hospitals (98.08%［102/104］ vs  81.97%［50/61］,  χ2=13.748，P＜0.001）. Most hospitals (82.24%［125/152］）only implemented monitoring in intensive care units(ICUs)  or partial ICUs. HAI management professionals, HAI control doctors and nurses in 69.08%（105/152）of hospitals jointly took responsibility for CAUTI monitoring. 95.39% (145/152）of hospitals diagnosed CAUTI by combination of clinical manifestations and laboratory examination results. 98.68%（150/152）of hospitals have gradually implemented intervention measures, such as strictly mastering the indications of urinary indwelling catheters, hand hygiene of health care workers, nonfrequent change of urinary indwelling catheters, and necessity for daily assessment of catheterization. 75.66% (115/152) of hospitals conducted feedback of monitored results to the whole hospital. Incidences of CAUTI in pre2010, 2010, and 2015 were 3.10‰, 4.72‰, and 1.89‰  respectively. ConclusionIn the recent 30 years, monitoring on CAUTI in China has obtained achievement, CAUTI monitoring is gradually standardized and scientific, but the development at all levels of medical institutions is still imbalance,  which needs to be improved further.
