Tract Infections

BackgroundEscherichia coli bacteraemia rates are rising with highest rates in older adults. Mandatory surveillance identifies previous Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) and catheterisation as risk factors.AimTo help control bacteraemias in older frail patients by developing a patient leaflet around the prevention and self-care of UTIs informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework.MethodFocus groups or interviews were held with care home staff, residents and relatives, GP staff and an out of hours service, public panels and stakeholders. Questions explored diagnosis, management, prevention of UTIs and antibiotic use in older adults. The leaflet was modified iteratively. Discussions were transcribed and analysed using Nvivo.ResultsCarers of older adults reported their important role in identifying when older adults might have a UTI, as they usually flag symptoms to nurses or primary care providers. Information on UTIs needs to be presented so residents can follow; larger text and coloured sections were suggested. Carers were optimistic that the leaflet could impact on the way UTIs are managed. Older adults and relatives liked that it provided new information to them. Staff welcomed that diagnostic guidance for UTIs was being developed in parallel; promoting consistent messages. Participants welcomed and helped to word sections on describing asymptomatic bacteriuria simply, preventing UTIs, causes of confusion and when to contact a doctor or nurseConclusionA final UTI leaflet for older adults has been developed informed by the TDF.

Tract Infections

Abstract Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur commonly, but recent data on UTI rates are scarce. It is unknown how the growth of virtual healthcare delivery affects outpatient UTI management and trends in the United States. Methods From 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2017, UTIs from outpatient settings (office, emergency, and virtual visits) were identified from electronic health records at Kaiser Permanente Southern California using multiple UTI definitions. Annual rates estimated by Poisson regression were stratified by sex, care setting, age, and race/ethnicity. Annual trends were estimated by linear or piecewise Poisson regression. Results UTIs occurred in 1 065 955 individuals. Rates per 1000 person-years were 53.7 (95% confidence interval [CI], 50.6–57.0) by diagnosis code with antibiotic and 25.8 (95% CI, 24.7–26.9) by positive culture. Compared to office and emergency visits, UTIs were increasingly diagnosed in virtual visits, where rates by diagnosis code with antibiotic increased annually by 21.2% (95% CI, 16.5%–26.2%) in females and 29.3% (95% CI, 23.7%–35.3%) in males. Only 32% of virtual care diagnoses had a culture order. Overall, UTI rates were highest and increased the most in older adults. Rates were also higher in Hispanic and white females and black and white males. Conclusions Outpatient UTI rates increased from 2008 to 2017, especially in virtual care and among older adults. Virtual care is important for expanding access to health services, but strategies are needed in all outpatient care settings to ensure accurate UTI diagnosis and reduce inappropriate antibiotic treatment.
