The primary objective of the study was to determine the risk of postpartum urinary tract infection (UTI) in women exposed to intermittent versus indwelling catheterization in labor. The secondary objective was to identify risk factors for development of postpartum UTI. A case-control study was conducted between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2016. Cases were defined as patients who were diagnosed with UTI and controls were not diagnosed with UTI. Obstetrical, infectious, and catheterization variables were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. A total of 26,517 full-term vaginal deliveries occurred during the study period with a rate of postpartum UTI of 0.7%. There were 166 cases and 695 controls included in the analysis. There was no significant difference in the rate of UTI between patients who underwent indwelling versus intermittent (reference) catheterization (OR 1.05, 95% CI: 0.67–1.64,  p  = .826). On multivariate analysis, significant risk factors for UTI included the relationship between use of catheterization and duration of labor ( p  = .026) and history of UTI during the pregnancy ( p  &lt; .001). In this study, there was no difference in the rate of postpartum UTI based on catheterization method. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal method of catheterization during labor and to enable providers to implement quality improvement strategies aimed at decreasing the risk of infection.
