Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common complication in patients with indwelling catheterization. The incidence of CAUTI in my country is still at a relatively high level compared with foreign countries, especially for the ICU, which has a high usage rate of urinary catheters, to focus on prevention and control. This article focuses on studying the risk factors of CAUTI in critically ill patients and discusses targeted preventive care measures. This article investigates and examines the clinical data of CAUTI in critically ill patients. After statistical analysis, the risk factors that affect CAUTI are summarized, so as to derive the cause of CAUTI in order to strengthen clinical care and to further study the prevention, control, and nursing of CAUTI to provide reference. Clinical data shows that the CAUTI infection rate of patients with catheter indwelling ≥7 days is greater than that of patients with catheter indwelling days less than 7 days. The CAUTI infection rate of the patients who change the urine collection bag every day or ≥7 days is greater than that of the patients who change the urine collection bag within 2 to 4 days.

Introduction: Nosocomial urinary tract infection represents between 30 and 50% of all these nosocomial infections. It occupies the first place and constitutes the third entry point for bacteremia. The objective of our study was to identify the risk factors associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections in maternity wards of public hospitals in Lubumbashi. Method: We carried out an analytical cross-sectional study in which the population consisted of parturients who did not have a urinary tract infection on admission. The urine samples were taken and analyzed in the laboratory of the university clinics of Lubumbashi. A case of nosocomial urinary tract infection was defined according to the WHO definition. To collect this urine, the parturients did it themselves after a health education session. Two samples were taken, one at the entry and the other at the exit of the parturient from the maternity hospital. The univariate analysis used the prevalence ratio as an indicator of risk with a 95% confidence interval and the bivariate analysis included all risk factors that had a significance level p ˂ 0.05 by a regression model binary logistics. Results: Out of the total of 1240 parturients selected and who were distributed in seven maternities of public hospitals in the city of Lubumbashi. It was noted that women who gave birth at HGR Kampemba were up to ten times more likely to develop nosocomial urinary tract infection than those who did at HGR Kisanga. An association was observed between delivery with complications (p = 0.032), long length of stay (p <0.001), delivery with surgical intervention (p <0.001) and antibiotic therapy (p = 0.020). Conclusion: Nosocomial urinary tract infections were varied depending on the characteristics of health structures, characteristics of parturients and health care. It is necessary to improve the hospital hygiene of the personnel, the hospital environment and the materials as well as a good policy of use of the antibacterials.

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.

<strong>Introduction:</strong> Urinary tract infection is the most common infectious complication following renal transplantation and its frequency is insufficiently studied in Portugal. The aim of this study was to characterize the incidence of urinary tract infections and recurrent urinary tract infections in renal transplant recipients.<br /><strong>Material and Methods:</strong> This was a retrospective cohort observational study, obtained from clinical files of all patients who received a renal transplant at the Hospital of Santa Cruz, from January 2004 to December 2005, with a mean follow-up period of five years or until date of graft loss, death or loss of follow-up. After a descriptive analysis of the population, we used bivariate tests to identify risk factors for urinary tract infections.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 127 patients were included, with a 593 patients.year follow-up. We detected 53 patients (41.7%) presenting with at least one episode of urinary tract infection; 21 patients (16.5%) had recurrent urinary tract infection. Female gender was the only risk factor associated with the occurrence of urinary tract infections (p &lt; 0.001, OR = 7.08, RR = 2.95) and recurrent urinary tract infections (p &lt; 0.001, OR = 4.66, RR = 2.83). Escherichia coli (51.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.5%) and Enterobacter spp (9.9%) were the<br />most frequently identified pathogens. Patients did not reveal an increased mortality or allograft loss. However, urinary tract infections were the most important cause of hospital admissions.<br /><strong>Discussion:</strong> Female gender was the only risk factor for urinary tract infections in this population. Escherichia coli was the most frequent agent isolated.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Despite preventive measures, urinary tract infections remain an important cause of morbidity and hospital admissions.<br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Urinary Tract Infections; Postoperative Complications; Risk Factors; Kidney Transplantation; Portugal.
