Assessing the burden of outpatient urinary tract infections in the United States: analysis of nationwide ambulatory data (2016-2019).

Abstract

We conducted an analysis of a nationwide survey of US physician offices between 2016 and 2019 and calculated annualized prevalence rates of urinary tract infections (UTIs). During the 3-year study period, UTI was the most common infection in US physician offices, accounting for approximately 10 million annualized encounters.
