Comparison of guideline recommendations for antimicrobial prophylaxis in urologic procedures: variability, lack of consensus, and contradictions

Abstract: Consensus recommendations are present for several procedures, many of which still rely on non-urologic data. Several other procedures have variability in recommendations, generally due to a lack of strong data. The use of risk factors as indication for prophylaxis in many procedures is at times ambiguous and confusing. Together, these observations indicate a need for further research to provide more robust and consistent guidelines for antimicrobial prophylaxis and stewardship in the field of urology.

“…However, guideline recommendations on AP in TURB rely on outdated and underpowered trials [8]. This leads to a low level of evidence and overt discrepancies in international guideline recommendations ranging from complete AP omission to complete AP application for several days [7].…”

“…Nevertheless, in contrast to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) [5,6], UTI rates are lower following TURB, and there appears to be little evidence for any benefit of AP. A lack of consensus was demonstrated in a recently published review that investigated the guidelines of the American Urological Association (AUA) and the Canadian (CAU), European (EAU), and Japanese (JAU) Associations of Urology [7]: The AUA considers TURB along with TURP and consequently AP should be applied to all patients, whereas the CAU groups TURB with cystoscopy and recommends AP only in high-risk patients. JAU guidelines recommend AP for TURB based on data for other transurethral procedures but state that low-risk cases without preoperative UTI can be considered to require no AP.…”

“…B. eine große Tumorgröße [36]. Zudem wurde per se eine geringe Evidenzlage für den Eingriff der TUR-Blase im Hinblick auf die Antibiotikaprophylaxe beschrieben, im Gegensatz zur TUR-Prostata und zur Prostatabiopsie [36,37]. Entsprechend der aktuellen EAU-Leitlinie besteht somit bei der TUR-Blase nur für Patienten mit hohem Risiko für eine postoperative Sepsis eine schwache Indikation für eine perioperative antibiotische Prophylaxe [38].…”

“…In the current era of rising antibiotic resistance pathogens, such as Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE), High Level Aminoglicoside Resistant Enterococcus (HLAR) or Enterobacterales with Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) and New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) are becoming more frequent [ 1 ]. We found that previously used recommendations for the management of patients, including the principles of antibiotic prophylaxis were often inadequate in those with a colonized urinary tract that had no symptoms of urinary tract infection – which is commonly known as asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”
