  1. UTI Audit Alice Lawton GP ST3

  2. My Audit • Patients aged >65yrs • Treated for suspected/proven UTI in January 2011 • Looked at choice of antibiotic, treatment length and whether MSU sent

  3. Results • 19 patients • 13F 6M • Average age 78

  4. Choice of Antibiotic

  5. Treatment Duration

  6. Local Guidelines • Trimethoprim 200mg BD OR • Nitrofurantoin 50mg QDS For 7 days

  7. Our Practice • High use of cefalexin • Against guidelines • Broad spectrum antibiotics • Increased incidence C. Difficile • MRSA • Future resistant UTIs

  8. MSU Sent?

  9. Local Guidelines • Send MSUs for all >65 • Also all men, pregnant women, children, recurrent infections and failure of treatment

  10. Quick Reminder Other UTI • Uncomplicated UTI<65yr • Trimethoprim 200mg BD or Nitrofurantoin 50mg QDS - 3 days • Men/recurrence/failure - • as per >65yrs • Pregnant women • Cefalexin 500mg BD or Amoxicillin 500mg TDS - 7 days • Children • Trimethoprim/nitrofurantoin/cefalexin - dose as per child - 7 days

  11. Catheterised Patients • Routine CSU not indicated • Do not use CSU/dipstick to diagnose • Clinical basis - sx UTI • Send CSU if sx • Change long term catheter before treatment • Choose abx from CSU if poss (trimethoprim/nitrofurantoin 7D if not) • Take into account prev CSU results • Review antibiotic • Antibiotic prophylaxis not recommended

  12. Acute Pyelonephritis • Send MSU • Co-amoxiclav 625mg TDS OR • Ciprofloxacin 500mg BD OR • Cefalexin 500mg TDS (if pregnant) 14 days

  13. Re-audit results • Correct antibiotic (ie trimethoprim/nitrofurantoin) • 76.5% (previously 42%) • Correct treatment duration of 7 days • 84.6% (prev. 78.9%) • MSU sent? • 84.6% (prev. 52.6%) • Note of the MC&S sent none were resistant to trimethoprim which was cited as a reason for prescribing cefalexin by the clinicians

  14. Conclusion • Try and avoid broad spectrum abx • Trimethoprim and nitrofurantoin are first line in all UTI treatment (apart from pregnant women) • Duration 7 days in all but uncomplicated UTIs in women <65yr • Send MSU in all but uncomplicated UTIs in women <65yr
