Demographic information, comorbidity of diabetes, urine analysis results before IC, method of IC (sterile or clean), use of bladder irrigation, cessation of IC and its reasons, and UTI events were collected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 183 adult individuals were included, of which 60 (32.8%) of them were women. The median age was 49.0\u2009years. The median time post-injury was 2\u2009months. The overall occurrence rate of UTI after performing IC was 1.31 (95% confidence intervals: 0.96\u20131.77) events per 100\u2009days. Sixty-nine (37.7%) patients discontinued IC during hospitalization, and UTIs were the leading reason for cessation (50.7%). Female sex, use of antibiotics for infections other than UTI, and use of bladder irrigation were found to be associated with a lower occurrence rate of UTI in the early phase after performing IC, with an odds ratio of 0.38 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.019), 0.20 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.022), and 0.24 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>UTI after performing IC is prevalent among people with SCI. The study indicated that antibiotic prophylaxis and routine bladder irrigation might be associated with the reduction in UTI in the early phase after performing IC.
