Abstract: The most common hospital-acquired infection is urinary tract infection (UTI) resulting in significant morbidity and occasional mortality. Pattern of germs especially bacteries that cause UTI will contribute to the success of the treatment of UTI. The wide scale spectrum of the causative organisms, and least of clinical trials that have been done are make the forming of the selected antimicroba that will used for the therapy of UTI more difficult. The purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of germs that cause UTIs, which are important in improving the quality of health care in the Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital. This study uses a prospective study that analyzed descriptively on 30 urinary samples in November until December 2012 at Installation of Medical Emergency Care of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital. Results of this research showed the highest incidence of UTI is in the age group 50-59 years. Women suffer from UTI more often than men. In this research, Escherichia coli is the most common microorganisms that cause UTI. Keywords: bacteries, pattern germs, urinary tract infection.     Abstrak: Infeksi Saluran Kemih (ISK) adalah infeksi yang paling umum didapat di RS yang mengakibatkan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas yang signifikan. Pola kuman penyebab ISK akan berperan penting dalam keberhasilan pengobatan ISK. Bervariasinya penyebab ISK, luasnya spektrum organisme yang menjadi penyebab, serta sedikitnya uji klinis yang telah dilaksanakan, mempersulit penyusunan antimikroba pilihan yang dapat digunakan dalam terapi ISK. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pola kuman khususnya bakteri penyebab ISK, yang merupakan hal penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan di RSUP. Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian prospektif yang dianalisis secara deskriptif pada 30 sampel urin selama bulan November sampai Desember 2012 di Instalasi Rawat Darurat Medik RSUP Prof. dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa insidensi ISK tertinggi adalah pada kelompok umur 50-59 tahun. Perempuan lebih sering menderita ISK daripada laki-laki. Dari penelitian ini, Escherichia coli merupakan mikroorganisme tersering yang menyebabkan ISK. Kata Kunci: Bakteri, Infeksi saluran kemih, Pola kuman.

Background: Urinary tract infection is common with health impact in women and characterised by failure to treatment and recurrent episodes. Aim: This study was conducted to determine the risk factors for the development of urinary tract infection in diabetic and pregnant women in comparison to student female. Materials and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted during the period from 1st of June 2015 to the end of January 2016. The population included in the study are 563 women, of them 425 were outpatients, and 138 were inpatients. Their age range between 18 and 80 years, with a mean age of 33.59±15.29 years. Urine samples collected and cultured on blood agar and MacConkey agar by spread plate technique. Bacterial colonies with different morphology were selected, purified and identified according to their biochemical characteristics using conventional standard methods. Results: In diabetic women, there were no significant difference in mean age and BMI values between culture positive and culture negative groups. However, pus cell mean scale was significantly higher [P=0.000] in women with urinary tract infection [1.76±1.25] than in those with negative culture [0.69±1.00]. In pregnant women, BMI mean value was significantly [P=0.013] lower in pregnant women with UTI [26.14] as compared to those without infection [26.99]. Pus cell scale mean value was significantly [P=0.000] higher in pregnant women with UTI [1.55] than women with negative UTI [0.85]. While there was no significant difference in mean age between UTI positive and negative pregnant women. In female student, there was a significant difference between UTI infected and non-infected in mean age [P=0.041] and pus cell scale [P=0.000]. However, BMI was not significantly different between infected and non-infected female student. Other risk factors association are variables in the 3 groups when analysed using X2, while AUC and OR show different trends of association between risk factors and UTI. Conclusion: BMI, pus cell scale, child number, delivery method, operation history and hospital setting were significantly associated with culture positivity in the 3 studied groups as determined by AUC. While OR confirmed association with pus sale scale in the 3 groups.

AbstractHospital readmissions following severe infections are a major economic burden on the health care system and have a negative influence on patients' quality of life. Understanding the risk factors for readmission, particularly the extent to which they could be prevented, is of a great importance. In this study we evaluated potentially preventable risk factors for 60-day readmission in patients surviving hospitalization for complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI). This was a multinational, multicentre retrospective cohort study conducted in Europe and the Middle East. Our cohort included survivors of hospitalization due to cUTI during the years 2013–2014. The primary outcome was 60-day readmission following index hospitalization. Patient characteristics that could have influenced readmission: demographics, infection presentation and management, microbiological and clinical data; were collected via computerized medical records from infection onset up to 60 days after hospital discharge. Overall, 742 patients were included. The cohort median age was 68 years (interquartile range, (IQR) 55–80) and 43.3% (321/742) of patients were males. The all-cause 60-day readmission rate was 20.1% (149/742) and more than half were readmitted for infection [57.1%, (80/140)]. Recurrent cUTI was the most frequent cause for readmission [46.4% (65/140)]. Statistically significant risk factors associated with 60-day readmission in multivariable analysis were: older age (odds ratio (OR) 1.02 for an one-year increment, confidence interval (CI) 1.005–1.03), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.04–2.55), cancer (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.05–2.77), previous urinary tract infection (UTI) in the last year (OR 1.8, 95% CI: 1.14–2.83), insertion of an indwelling bladder catheter (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.07–2.45) and insertion of percutaneous nephrostomy (OR 3.68, 95% CI 1.67–8.13). In conclusion, patients surviving hospitalization for cUTI are frequently re-hospitalized, mostly for recurrent urinary infections associated with a medical condition that necessitated urinary interventions. Interventions to avoid re-admissions should target these patients.
