摘要
目的:评价2006 - 2015年退伍军人卫生系统家庭基层护理人群尿路感染(UTI)的诊断和治疗趋势。设计:回顾性队列研究。背景:退伍军人医疗保健系统。参与者:2006年至2015年接受尿路感染治疗的家庭初级保健患者。干预措施:没有。主要结局指标:根据McGeer标准确定合适的治疗方法。采用多变量logistic回归来确定导致尿路感染适当治疗的因素。结果:在366例患者中,68例(18.6%)接受了尿路感染检测。26%的患者接受了适当的治疗。对任何抗生素过敏都会增加适当治疗的几率(优势比[OR] = 5.6, 95%可信区间[CI] 1.5-23.2)。侧腹疼痛和尿频增加也增加了接受适当治疗的可能性(OR = 25.9, 95% CI 2.9-584.0和OR = 4.49, 95% CI 0.99-21.2)。结论:抗菌药物在治疗尿路感染中存在滥用现象。伴有侧腹疼痛、尿频增加和抗生素过敏的患者更有可能接受适当的治疗。因此,药剂师有一个可行的机会,以增加适当的抗生素处方在家庭基础的初级保健人群。
Proper Antibiotic Use in a Home-Based Primary Care Population Treated for Urinary Tract Infections.
Objective: To evaluate the trends associated with diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTI) in a home-based primary care population of Veterans Health System patients from 2006 to 2015.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Veterans Healthcare System.
Participants: Home-based primary care patients treated for UTI from 2006 to 2015.
Interventions: None.
Main outcome measure: Appropriate therapy was determined based on the McGeer criteria. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine factors leading to appropriate UTI treatment.
Results: Of 366 available patients, 68 (18.6%) were tested for a UTI. Appropriate therapy occurred in 26% of patients. Allergy to any antibiotic increased the odds of appropriate treatment (odds ratio [OR] = 5.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.5-23.2). Flank pain and increased urinary frequency also increased the likelihood of being treated appropriately (OR = 25.9, 95% CI 2.9-584.0 and OR = 4.49, 95% CI 0.99-21.2, respectively).
Conclusion: Antibiotics were overused for treating UTIs in the homebound population. Patients with flank pain, increased urinary frequency, and antibiotic allergy were more likely to receive appropriate treatment. Pharmacists, therefore, have a viable opportunity to increase appropriate antibiotic prescribing in the home-based primary care population.
