Learning Objective
• Develop appropriate antimicrobial regimens for urinary tract infections
based on patient-specific factors
![Page 4: Urinary tract infections: Optimizing inpatient therapy · 2019-04-23 · •Urinary tract infection algorithm with hospitalist, intensivist, and emergency department provider education](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050403/5f80dedd2fc9f85e4e29a86e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Background
• A urinary tract infection (UTI) of any part of the urinary system including kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra
• Prevalence of these infections worldwide is estimated at 150 million people every year with a healthcare cost of $3.5 billion annually in the United States alone
• Four subcategories
• Asymptomatic bacteriuria
• Uncomplicated cystitis
• Complicated cystitis
• Catheter-associated UTI

Background
• Asymptomatic bacteriuria
• Presence of one or more species of bacteria growing in urine (≥105 colony-forming
units [CFU]/mL or ≥108 CFU/L), irrespective of pyuria
• Absence of signs or symptoms attributable to UTI
• Pyelonephritis
• Fever (>99.9°F/37.7°C), signs or symptoms of systemic illness, flank pain, or
costovertebral tenderness

Background
• Uncomplicated cystitis
• Dysuria, urinary frequency or urgency, and/or suprapubic pain in the absence of vaginal symptoms (vaginal pruritus or discharge)
• Complicated cystitis
• Lacks a consensus definition
• Male, poorly controlled diabetes, symptoms >7 days, urologic abnormalities, urologic prosthetic material, or immunosuppression
• Catheter associated-UTI
• Signs and symptoms compatible with UTI with no other identifiable source of infection from a patient whose catheter has been removed within the previous 48 hours

Discussion
• Overall, empiric antimicrobial therapy for urinary tract infections improved post provider education and algorithm
• Although results were not statistically significant, a 20% improvement in prescribing is notable
• Strengths
• Local antibiogram used in combination with IDSA guidelines
• Algorithm approved by all infectious disease physicians at Providence St. Patrick Hospital
• Limitations
• Sample size, retrospective chart review, bias
• Unable to verify those originally diagnosed with asymptomatic bacteriuria
• Diagnosis was not always clear
• No external validity

Discussion
• Lessons Learned
• Have clinical pharmacists more involved in algorithm
• Document when algorithm was recommended and whether or not it was accepted
• Increase number of patients reviewed with documented urinary tract infection
• Identify patients by diagnosis code rather than antibiotics prescribed
![Page 19: Urinary tract infections: Optimizing inpatient therapy · 2019-04-23 · •Urinary tract infection algorithm with hospitalist, intensivist, and emergency department provider education](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050403/5f80dedd2fc9f85e4e29a86e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conclusions
• Empiric therapy better aligned with guideline directed antibiotics after
algorithm was implemented
• Length of therapy, de-escalation, and length of hospital stay are areas of improvement
![Page 20: Urinary tract infections: Optimizing inpatient therapy · 2019-04-23 · •Urinary tract infection algorithm with hospitalist, intensivist, and emergency department provider education](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050403/5f80dedd2fc9f85e4e29a86e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Future Directions
• Education
• New IDSA guideline for asymptomatic bacteriuria
• Reinforce appropriate empiric prescribing for urinary tract infections
• Antibiotic de-escalation and length of therapy
• Questioning attitude for antibiotic therapy
