Introduction: This study analyzed patients with metabolic syndrome and smokers treated with MV140 vaccine to prevent recurrent UTI. Material and methods: 342 patients with recurrent UTI received MV140 vaccine between 2017 and 2020 in Barcelona, Spain. Variables analyzed: number of UTI at 3 and 6 months after MV140, age, gender, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, hypertension, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and smoking. Patients were divided in Group 1: metabolic syndrome (2 or more variables), Group 2: no metabolic syndrome (less than 2 variables). On the other hand, patients were classified into smokers and non-smokers. Results: Mean age was 74, 82% were women. At the beginning, 88,9% had 3-5 UTI. Overall effectiveness with MV140 was 72.5% at 3 months and 56.2% at 6 months. Group 1 (36%) presented 0-1 UTI in 78.9% and 62.6% at 3 and 6 months. In Group 2 (64%) the results were 69% and 52.5%. Comparing both groups, no statistically significant differences were observed (p=0,25, p=0,26). Smokers had 77.4% and 61.3% at 3 and 6 months, and non-smokers had 69.3% and 52.7%. There were also no statistically significant differences (p = 0.5, p = 0.36). Group 1 and smoking (28,7%) had 82% at 3 months and 66.3% at 6 months. Group 2 and no smoking (71,3%) reached 60.3% and 52% at 3 and 6 months. There were no statistically significant differences between both groups. Conclusions: The overall efficacy of MV140 was high and safe, without side effects. Patients with metabolic syndrome and smokers may benefit from this treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
