Antibiotic Treatment for 7 Days Versus 14 Days in Patients With Acute Male Urinary Tract Infection Due to Fluoroquinolones Susceptible Bacteria: a Multicentre, Non-inferiority, Double Blind, Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial
Abstract
This study will investigate the treatment of urinary tract infection (UTI) in men. The investigators are looking to see if shorter duration of antibiotics (7 days) is not inferior to a longer duration of antibiotics (14 days). The investigators will also study whether longer treatment leads to an increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria in the gut microbiota or an increase in drug side effects.
Conditions: Acute Male Urinary Tract Infection.
Primary outcome: Success defined by resolution of fever.
Enrollment: 274 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 274 participants or records.
