- The GPIU study is an ongoing global research project aimed at gathering data on antibiotic resistance and urogenital infections in urological departments, particularly focusing on healthcare-associated infections.
- The study collects information on hospital practices and patient characteristics using a web-based application, screening urological patients on a designated day each November since 2003.
- With participation from 856 urology units across 70 countries and over 27,000 patients, findings highlight concerning trends, including high antibiotic resistance rates and an increasing severity of infections, with 25% of cases now classified as urosepsis.
