Abstract Background The role of antibiotics in preventing urinary tract infection (UTI) in older adults is unknown. We sought to quantify the benefits and risks of antibiotic prophylaxis among older adults. Methods We conducted a matched cohort study comparing older adults (≥66 years) receiving antibiotic prophylaxis, defined as antibiotic treatment for ≥30 days starting within 30 days of a positive culture, with patients with positive urine cultures who received antibiotic treatment but did not receive prophylaxis. We matched each prophylaxis recipient to 10 nonrecipients based on organism, number of positive cultures, and propensity score. Outcomes included (1) emergency department (ED) visit or hospitalization for UTI, sepsis, or bloodstream infection within 1 year; (2) acquisition of antibiotic resistance in urinary tract pathogens; and (3) antibiotic-related complications. Results Overall, 4.7% (151/3190) of UTI prophylaxis patients and 3.6% (n = 1092/30 542) of controls required an ED visit or hospitalization for UTI, sepsis, or bloodstream infection (hazard ratio [HR], 1.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12–1.57). Acquisition of antibiotic resistance to any urinary antibiotic (HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.18–1.44) and to the specific prophylaxis agent (HR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.80–2.24) was higher in patients receiving prophylaxis. While the overall risk of antibiotic-related complications was similar between groups (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, .94–1.22), the risk of Clostridioides  difficile and general medication adverse events was higher in prophylaxis recipients (HR [95% CI], 1.56 [1.05–2.23] and 1.62 [1.11–2.29], respectively). Conclusions Among older adults with UTI, the harms of long-term antibiotic prophylaxis may outweigh their benefits.

Background and ObjectiveTo compare the incidence of febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) and bacterial identification between patients with orthotopic neobladder (ONB) and ileal conduit (IC). Materials and MethodsData of 164 patients who underwent radical cystectomy with ONB and IC for bladder cancer between January 2009 and January 2018 at our institution were analyzed. Febrile UTI observed was listed and subsequently compared. Incidence of febrile UTI, clinicopathological characteristics, and microorganisms identified were reported at 3 months interval; and preoperative predictors of febrile UTI were evaluated with Cox regression analysis. Patients were divided into ONB and IC. ResultsThe study cohort included 52 patients with ONB and 112 patients with IC. Febrile UTI was diagnosed in 49 (29.9%) patients. Compared to IC group, ONB group had significantly higher incidence of young age (p=0.00), lower cancer stage (p=0.013), longer hospital stay (p=0.049), longer operation time (p=0.00), and higher incidence of febrile UTI within the first 3 months after surgery (p=0.006). On univariable and multivariable analysis, factors associated with significantly increased febrile UTI risk were diabetes (odds ratio [OR]: 4.52; p=0.002) and ONB diversion (OR: 1.27; p=0.031). Forty-four (89.8%) patients were culture positive. However, significant difference in microorganisms was not detected between patients who under-went ONB or IC diversion. ConclusionDiabetes and ONB diversion were associated with higher risk symptomatic UTI following radical cystectomy.
