◦ Common: cath-assoc UTI; bladder calculi; cath obstruction; bladder spasms; pain; ↓bladder capacity; urine leakage.<br>
◦ Long-term use assoc w/ ↑hazard ratio for bladder cancer (4.8) vs. matched controls. Bladder cancer–specific death, though rare (0.3% over a median of ~9y), is 8.7-fold higher vs. controls.<br>
◦ Long-term use assoc w/ small but ↑risk of squamous cell bladder carcinoma that may be secondary to chronic inflammation.
