The aims of this study in the Emergency Department and Elder Needs (EDEN) series were to explore associations between clinical variables on arrival at the ED (baseline) and the insertion of a bladder catheter, and the relation between catheterization and deterioration to a more complex or serious clinical state. ⋯ Certain patient characteristics and baseline clinical conditions are associated with bladder catheterization in patients of advanced age. The main factors were decreased consciousness, dehydration, and male sex. Even after adjustment for related factors, catheterization is independently associated with progression to more complex or serious clinical states.
