Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on elderly patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the factors influencing their early return visits (ERV) and hospitalization after returning to the emergency department (ED).
- An analysis of 419 patients showed that factors like the absence of UTI-specific symptoms and elevated C-reactive protein levels were significant risk indicators for both ERV and hospitalization.
- The findings suggest that understanding these risk factors can improve how ED staff manage elderly UTI patients, despite no notable differences in antibiotic resistance between those who returned early and other patients.
