Post-discharge surveillance of urinary tract infections in patients following hip and knee arthroplasty: identifying targets for infection prevention and control
Abstract
This population-based study aimed to evaluate the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) following hip and knee arthroplasty (HPRO and KPRO) and to identify UTI risk factors among Polish patients. Analysis included data from 83,525 patients, with incidence rates of 0.7% and 0.49% after HPRO and KPRO, respectively. We identified women, individuals over 65 years old, residents of long-term care facilities, patients with chronic circulatory, endocrine, or digestive diseases, and those operated on due to trauma as targets for infection prevention and control.
