Onabotulinum Toxin A-Led Urinary Tract Infections-Should we Safeguard? A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Int Urogynecol J
January 2025
Department of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, Atlantic Health System, 435 South Street, Suite 370, Morristown, NJ, 07960, USA.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective of our study was to evaluate the need for antibiotic prophylaxis for urinary tract infection (UTI) prevention before Onabotulinum toxin A injection for overactive bladder (OAB). We hypothesize that the lack of antibiotic prophylaxis might not be inferior to administering prophylaxis.
Methods: This was a multi-centered, nonblinded, randomized controlled trial conducted between August 2022 and September 2024.
Understanding and Managing Pediatric Urinary Tract Infections in Vesicoureteral Reflux: Insights Into Pathophysiology and Care.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a pediatric condition identified by the backward flow of urine from the bladder to one or both ureters and kidneys, predisposing patients to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney scarring. Continuous antibiotic prophylaxis has long been a mainstay of management aimed at preventing recurrent UTIs and resulting renal damage. This review critically discusses the evidence supporting the utilization of antibiotic prophylaxis in VUR, with a focus on its efficacy, safety, long-term outcomes, and future directions in management.

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is frequently associated with complications of which shunt-related infections are the most common. However, controversies still exist regarding the underlying factors. This study comparing peri-operative skin preparation agents was aimed at determining which factors among previously documented determinants of shunt infection are implicated in our practice setting.

Improving cefazolin administration for surgical prophylaxis in reported penicillin allergy: A retrospective study of a health system intervention.
J Allergy Clin Immunol Glob
February 2025
Section of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn.
Background: Cefazolin is the most common first-line antibiotic to prevent surgical-site infections. Patients with penicillin allergy labels often receive alternative antibiotics, which is associated with increased rates of surgical-site infections, multi-drug-resistant infections, and cost.
Objective: We sought to determine whether a hospital-wide guideline recommending first-line surgical prophylaxis in patients with penicillin allergy labels can increase the use of cefazolin without compromising safety.
