The incidence, clinical features and outcome of urinary tract infections in geriatric patients: A prospective longitudinal study.

Objectives: This study compares the incidence, clinical features, microbial profiles, and outcomes of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in patients aged 65 years and older versus those younger than 65 years.

Methods: A longitudinal cohort of 1,123 patients was divided into Group A (≥65 years, n = 560) and Group B (<65 years, n = 563) and followed for 2 years. The study analyzed UTI incidence, clinical features, microbial profiles, and outcomes, including recurrence and antibiotic resistance.
