Objective. Evaluate the prevalence and outcomes of urinary tract infection (UTI) among renal transplant recipients. Methods. A secondary analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2009-2011 was conducted. Survey-weighted multivariable regression analyses were used to examine the impact of UTI on transplant complications, total charges, and length of stay. Results. A total of 1,044 renal transp...

INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infectious diseases in children. The aim of this study was to determine the total prooxidant and antioxidant capacity of children with UTI, as well as changes of oxidative status parameters according to acute inflammation persistence and acute kidney injury (AKI) development. MATERIALS AND METHODS The patients enro...

Most cases of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are considered idiopathic without an identifiable etiologic agent. It has been previously reported that a number of patients with TTP had a urinary tract infection (UTI). Apheresis records were searched for patients with TTP from 1999 through 2007. Records were examined for evidence of UTI, and the patients were divided into 4 groups: 1, l...

PURPOSE To estimate the annual incidence, cumulative probability of presumed urinary tract infection (UTI) by age, and the social costs. METHODS Analysis of a random digit dialing survey of 2000 women in the United States. RESULTS 10.8 percent (95% CI: 9.4, 12.1%) of women aged 18 and older reported at least one presumed UTI during the past 12 months, with the majority of the cases occurrin...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common sources of infection in children under five. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is important to reduce the risk of renal scarring. Rapid, cost-effective, methods of UTI diagnosis are required as an alternative to culture. METHODS We conducted a systematic review to determine the diagnostic accuracy of rapid tests for detecting UTI...

The usefulness of the measurement of urinary lactoferrin (LF) released from polymorphonuclear leukocytes and of an immunochromatography test strip devised for measuring urinary LF for the simple and rapid diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI) was evaluated. Urine specimens were collected from apparently healthy persons and patients diagnosed as suffering from UTI. In the preliminary study...

OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to determine age-stratified rates of co-existing bacterial meningitis in children with urinary tract infection (UTI). The secondary aims of this study were to determine the causative pathogens of UTI, and the clinical features and outcome of children with co-existing meningitis. METHODS Analysis of data collected over a nine-year period at a tertiar...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of long-term prophylactic antibiotics for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in children through meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. METHODS Electronic databases and reference lists of review articles were searched for relevant trials. Outcome measures were recurrence of symptomatic UTI, repeat positive urine culture, new or d...

AIMS To evaluate the benefits and harms of treatments for vesicoureteric reflux in children. METHODS Meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials using a random effects model. Main outcome measures were incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI), new or progressive renal damage, renal growth, hypertension, and glomerular filtration rate. RESULTS Eight trials involving 859 evaluable childre...

OBJECTIVE This report aims at both estimation of the rates of overall nosocomial and urinary tract infection (UTI) and their linear trends as well as studying the potential risk factors of patients admitted to Al-Hada, Rehab and Prince Sultan military hospitals and developed nosocomial UTIs (NUTIs). METHODS A case-control study on 206 discharged patients with confirmed UTI and 618 controls wi...
