Clinical Trial Summary

Urinary infections are at the origin of many emergency department consultations and antibiotic prescriptions. Increase of bacteria resistance to antibiotics is promoted by an inappropriate use of those antibiotics but initial prescription in emergency departments is complicated by brief clinical examinations, unavailable sampling results and risks of multi-resistant bacteria. Large diffusion of new recommendations for urinary infection management should improve the quality of initial antibiotic prescription. However emergency physicians have no knowledge of the reassessment of antibiotherapy 48 to 72 hours after initial prescription by general practitioners which is a quality criterion of good antibiotic use. The main purpose of this study is to estimate the reassessment rate by general practitioners of the urinary infection antibiotherapies prescribed in emergency departments. This will allow assessing the quality of initial antibiotic prescription and help to improve practices.

The main purpose of this study is to estimate the reassessment rate by general practitioners of the urinary infection antibiotherapies prescribed in emergency departments.

Patients will be informed during their consultation in one of Toulon - La Seyne sur Mer hospital emergency departments. If they don't express opposition to their data collection, they will be included. A form will then be completed by emergency physicians with initial prescribed antibiotherapy, patients' general practitioners contact information and if patients have a shared medical file or not. 4 to 5 days later, patients' general practitioners will be contacted to know if urinary analysis results were transferred from emergency department to practitioners, if antibiotherapy was modified and if patients' shared medical file was consulted. ;
