[Urinary tract infections in adults: Comparison of the French and the European guidelines].

Introduction: Acute urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult are now a major public health issue in terms of morbidity, mortality and in terms of costs for society. The latest French guidelines and the European Association of Urology guidelines differ in some points. The aim of this article is to compare the guidelines of these two societies in order to highlight their differences but also their common points in the management of UTIs.

Perioperative infectious risk in urology: Management of preoperative polymicrobial urine culture. A systematic review. By the infectious disease Committee of the French Association of urology.

Introduction: The aim was to assess the risk of postoperative infections in patients with preoperative polymicrobial urine culture and to provide the urologist with practices to minimise the risk of infection in these clinical situations.

Methods: A systematic literature review was carried. All national and international recommendations have been reviewed.

Are they trained? Prevalence, motivations and barriers to CPR training among cohabitants of patients with a coronary disease.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest occurs most often at home and often in the presence of family members of the patient who witness the event. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training of the next of kin of at-risk patients is thus potentially beneficial. The aim of our study was to document the prevalence of appropriate training among cardiac patients' cohabitants, as well as the motivations or obstacles to seeking training.

[Can the urine dipstick be used in the diagnosis of urinary bacterial colonizations in a preoperative urological assessment?].

Purpose: The use of the dipstick urinalysis has been validated for the diagnosis of symptomatic urinary infections, cystitis and pyelonephritis thanks to an excellent negative predictive value. For prostatitis, it is rather its positive predictive value that is interesting. The aim of this study is to validate its use in the screening of urinary colonizations in the preoperative assessment in urology.
