Filter by:The aim of this study was to determine the genital hygiene practices of women in different regions of Turkey and the factors influencing these practices. It is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The study was conducted according to the STROBE checklist.
The control of antibiotic resistance requires a reduction in inappropriate prescriptions of broad-spectrum antibiotics (amoxillin-clavulanate (AMC), fluoroquinolones (FQ), third-generation cephalosporins (C3G)), particularly for urinary tract infections treated in primary care. Several studies have reported the positive impact of antibiotic susceptibility testing performed on urine cultures on the appropriate use of antibiotics. The "selective reporting for antibiotic susceptibility testing ", defined as the restriction of the list of antibiotics mentioned in the report according to the antibiotic resistance profile, would allow, according to observational studies, a reduction of 25 to 70% of the initial prescriptions of broad-spectrum antibiotics and a 20% rate of antibiotic de-escalation (=reduction of the antibacterial spectrum of an antibiotic treatment after re-evaluation). The objective is to assess the impact of disseminating a selective reporting for antibiotic susceptibility testing on the dispensing of broad-spectrum antibiotics prescribed by general practitioners (GPs) for E. coli positive urine cultures in adult women, compared to the dissemination of a standard antibiotic susceptibility testing.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of oral TBP-PI-HBr as compared with intravenous (IV) imipenem-cilastatin with respect to the overall response (combined clinical cure plus microbiological eradication) at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) visit in hospitalized adult participants (≥18 years of age) with cUTI or AP.
This study investigates Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused either by sensitive E. coli or ESBL-E. coli.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a texting platform to usual care for managing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI). The main question it aims to answer is: • can a texting platform that integrates symptom triage and prevention education reduce the rate of unnecessary antibiotics for recurrent UTIs as compared to usual care? Participants enrolled onto the texting platform will: • receive evidence-based clinical guidance for the management of symptoms of UTI and receive educational videos on how to prevent UTIs. An important secondary outcome is to determine if the texting platform improves self-efficacy for the management of recurrent UTI.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of single dose fosfomycin and single dose levofloxacin as pre-urodynamic antibiotic prophylaxis for urinary tract infection prevention post-urodynamic in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the difference between the effectiveness of administering a single dose of fosfomycin and levofloxacin prior to the procedure in terms of the incidence rate of urinary tract infection (UTI) post-urodynamic examination? - What is the incidence rate of UTI in the administration of single-dose fosfomycin and levofloxacin prior to the procedure on the incidence rate of UTI post-urodynamic examination? Participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be taken their history and vital signs and consume either fosfomycin or levofloxacin based on the randomisation prior to urodynamic procedure. Afterwards, participants will undergo urine analysis 4 days post urodynamic to evaluate if there's any urinary tract infection. If there is any bacteria present, the sample will be cultured to identify bacteria found in the urine.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the use of gentamicin-based irrigation fluid during ureteroscopy decreases the risk of UTIs and other post-operative infections after surgery.
Delirium is an acute confusional state that is experienced by many older adults who are admitted to hospital. To treat delirium the underlying cause needs to be identified promptly, but this is challenging. One of the potential causes of delirium is infection. Urine tests show that most patients experiencing delirium have bacteria in their urine, however, bacteria in the urine is common among older adults, and does not automatically indicate an infection is present. As a result it is difficult to know whether a lower urinary tract infection is present as individuals with delirium are frequently unable to report clinical signs of infection - symptoms of pain or discomfort with urination, having to urinate more frequently or pelvic discomfort. Very often, individuals with delirium are treated with antibiotics despite the fact that it is unknown whether antibiotics help to improve delirium in cases where bacteria in the urine is present. This proposed study is a randomized controlled trial that will examine if adults (age 60 or older) with delirium and suspected infection benefit from taking antibiotics.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) with extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL)-positive Enterobacteriums (ESBL-E) are a common infectious complication of renal transplant recipients, with 10% of patients suffering from UTIs with ESBL-E within the first year posttransplant. Moreover, recurrence rates of UTI caused by ESBL-E are almost three times higher than those by cephalosporin-susceptible Enterobacteriums demonstrating the decreased efficacy of antibiotics in the treatment of these UTIs.
The aim of this cohort study is to validate Viture®, a continuous temperature telemonitoring system, evaluating the level of agreement with a standard commercially available digital axillary thermometer. The study also aims to evaluate the safety and comfort of the system and to evaluate the impact that the introduction of Viture has on the health care practice of a HaH unit. Furthermore, the advantages of Viture compared to the standard method will be evaluated.
