A pilot randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial on the use of antibiotics on urinary catheter removal to reduce the rate of urinary tract infection: the pitfalls of ciprofloxacin

To assess if a short course of antibiotics starting at the time of the removing a short‐term urethral catheter decreases the incidence of subsequent urinary tract infection (UTI).
