To determine the variations in the costs of the prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) among different prevention protocols, a prospective observational multicenter study on 1614 women receiving RUTI prophylaxis was conducted. The patient groups were as follows: Group A (n = 444): conventional suppressive antibiotic therapy; Group V (n = 732): polyvalent bacterial vaccine; and Group O (n = 438): other adjuvant measures. The variables were age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification scale, cost of prophylaxis, duration of the RUTI, number of visits for primary and specialized care, number of UTIs, cost of urinalysis, urine culture, urine cytology, and days of sick leave.
