Summary:The insertion of a Foley catheter (FC) or a suprapubic catheter (SPC) in lifelong intent is an intervention with significant complications, comorbidities and impact on the further life that has not yet been analyzed. The analysis was based on a validated assessment of catheter-related QoL with 25 items in 5 domains and applied to patients with a Foley or suprapubic catheter in lifelong indication and with the catheter in place for at least 3 months.

Questionnaires from 357 patients (260 male, 97 female, 193 with suprapubic catheter, 162 with Foley catheter, 2 no information) were included in the study.
