Healthcare-associated urinary tract infections with onset post hospital discharge.
The objective of this study was to measure the incidence of potentially healthcare-associated (HA), community-onset (CO) urinary tract infection (UTI) in a retrospective cohort of hospitalized patients. Among 3,273 patients at risk for potentially HA-CO UTI, results found that the incidence of HA-CO UTI in the 30 days post discharge was 29.8 per 1,000 patients; independent risk factors included paraplegia, quadriplegia, indwelling catheter during index hospitalization, prior piperacillin-tazobactam prescription, prior penicillin class prescription, and private insurance. The authors conclude that HA-CO UTI may be common within 30 days following hospital discharge, and that their data suggests that surveillance efforts may need to be expanded to capture the full burden to patients and to better inform antibiotic prescribing decisions for patients with a history of hospitalization.
