Article Synopsis
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in emergency departments, and this study evaluated the necessity of broad-spectrum treatment for hospitalized patients with community-acquired UTIs (CAUTIs).
- Conducted over two years at a major Lebanese tertiary care center, the study analyzed data from adult patients to determine treatment adherence, characteristics of CAUTIs, and risks associated with extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) infections.
- Results indicated that most patients received appropriate ESBL-targeting treatment, but 46% required adjustments, emphasizing the need for better monitoring of drug-resistant bacteria and stronger local treatment guidelines.
