Research has questioned the safety of delaying or withholding antibiotics for suspected urinary tract infection (UTI) in older patients. We evaluated the association between antibiotic treatment for lower UTI and risk of bloodstream infection (BSI) in adults aged ≥65 years in primary care.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is defined as the presence of bacteria in the urine in quantities of 10 5 colony-forming units per milliliter (cfu/mL) or more in 2 consecutive urine specimens in women or 1 urine specimen in men, in the absence of clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of a UTI. 5 Distinguishing UTI from ASB in older adults, althou...
We defined ‘long-term antibiotics’ as daily antibiotic dosing for at least 6 months, ‘older adults’ as women who were postmenopausal or over the age of 65 and men aged over 65 and ‘recurrent UTI’ as self-reported or clinically recorded history of two or more UTIs in 6 months or three or more in 12 months.
Around 4% of these CAUTIs will further develop into life threatening conditions, such as bacteraemia (the presence of bacteria in the blood) or sepsis, with mortality rates ranging up to 33%. Clinical features. Presentation of UTIs can vary and range from patients exhibiting with limited clinical symptoms to urinary sepsis.
