Urinary Tract Infection After Cystometry

Abstract: Eighteen of 67 patients who underwent cystometry for assessment of incontinence had a urinary tract infection 72 hours later. Though four of the 18 had an infection prior to cystometry, the true postcystometry infection was still high at 21%. Clinical details and urodynamic studies on these patients showed no correlation with sex, mobility, mental score, random blood sugar, renal function, initial residual volume of urine, previous pelvic operations or the type of bladder abnormality diagnosed on cystometry.

Moreover, cystometry is a functional measurement technique that provides no information on structural alterations in the urinary bladder.…”

“…The rate of UTI after urodynamics ranges from 0-8.2% with antibiotic prophylaxis, and up to 28.3% without it [1][2][3][4][5]. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether the benefits of antibiotic prophylaxis for the prevention of lower UTI after urodynamics outweigh the risks.…”

“…Urodynamic investigation being an invasive test is not without any side effects and complication [7,8]. Urinary tract infection is common complication [4][5][6]. An incidence of UTI in a patient attending Urodynamic study triggered the need for auditing and making a safe pathway in our department.…”
