A retrospective evaluation of antibiotic prescribing for recurrent urinary tract infection prophylaxis in adults in general practice
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the adherence to guidelines for prescribing prophylactic antibiotics for recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adults within general practices in Leicestershire, UK. Their retrospective audit revealed that while 73.6% of patients received guideline-concordant therapy, only 58.1% had a review within six months, and treatment modifications for resistant isolates were infrequent. The study highlights significant opportunities for improving UTI management through better adherence to guidelines and addressing socioeconomic factors influencing prescribing practices.
