Session Goal To improve adherence to EBP guidelines for treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women and to promote antibiotic stewardship.
Objectives Participants will be able to: 1. Differentiate between complicated and uncomplicated UTIs. 2. Identify differential diagnoses for UTI symptoms. 3. State first-line of treatment for uncomplicated UTIs according to the latest IDSA guidelines. 4. Practice antibiotic stewardship.
Definitions Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) Complicated urinary tract infections Interstitial cystitis
Statistics in the US UTIs account for 8.6 million visits to PCP offices (Hooton, 2012) Total cost for care, $2.4 billion annually (O Dell, 2011; Barber et al, 2013) Prescription medication costs totaled at $218 million (O Dell)
Symptoms Classic UTI symptoms: Dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, hematuria, odor, suprapubic pain STI symptoms: Dysuria, urinary frequency, vaginal discharge (not always), odor
Current trends Empiric treatment is common Antibiotics remain the standard of care Long course of antibiotics (7-10 days)
Current Findings Patients tend to self-diagnose Self medication is not uncommon 55% of women are willing to delay antibiotic use. Correlation between expectation & prescribing behavior
Misconceptions Antibiotics are needed Antibiotics speed up recovery First case of resistance found in 1940s Untreated UTIs will become kidney infections
Urine culture & sensitivity Is it necessary? If so, when?
(+) Urinalysis with a (-) Urine C&S? Why? What are your considerations?
Other Considerations STD: Chlamydia Anatomical abnormality Low colony count (10 3 CFU/mL vs 10 5 CFU/mL)
CDC definition Appropriate use of antibiotic is defined as use that maximizes therapeutic effect while minimizing risk of increased resistance (Nicolle, Anderson, Conly, Mainprize, Meuser, Nickle, Senikas, & Zhanel, 2006, pp. 615).
IDSA (2010/11) Recommendations First-line Nitrofurantoin 100mg po bid (x 5 days) Alternate therapy TMP/SMX 160/800mg po bid (x3 days) In case of resistance or allergy to first-line: Ciprofloxacin 250mg po bid (x3 days)
Summary Antibiotic resistance is a global problem Practice antibiotic stewardship Educate your patients and colleagues Use shortest effective course of treatment
Quote There is the danger that the ignorant man may easily under dose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant. Alexander Fleming, Dec. 11, 1945 at the end of his Nobel lecture
