- Abstract
Objective: Analyze the Urinary Tract Infection and its recurrence in hospitalization in the elderly, characterizing the sociodemographic, laboratory and clinical aspects. Methods: Cross-sectional study with descriptive design, quantitative approach of an analytical type, carried out on the electronic medical records of the elderly who were hospitalized in 2017 and readmitted in 2018, in the Geriatrics unit of a teaching hospital. Fisher's exact test was used in statistics, considered p <0.05. Results: Of the 1,835 records, 550 (29.97%) elderly were selected, of these, 121 (22%) with Urinary Tract Infection were investigated. The majority were male aged between 80 and 89 years. Among them, 51.2% used some type of bladder catheter and 52.9% used fraud. The altered tests were those of creatinine, C-Reactive Protein, urine I (proteins and leukocytes), in addition to positive urine culture for Escherichia Coli. Of the 121 patients investigated, 50.4% had readmission for urinary tract infection, of these, 42.6% died and, of those who did not have recurrence, 18.3% died (p = 0.00054). Conclusion: The elderly is predisposed greater to acquire urinary infection, in addition to relapses, especially those who use a bladder catheter and diaper, which causes an increase in the frequency of hospitalizations, hospital stay and mortality.
