Risk Factors Associated With Antimicrobial Resistance and Adverse Short-Term Health Outcomes Among Adult and Adolescent Female Outpatients With Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection

Abstract

New antimicrobial dispensing within the 28-day follow-up period was associated with uUTIs where the uropathogen was not susceptible to initial antimicrobial treatment. Older age and prior antimicrobial exposure, resistance, and hospitalization also identified patients at risk of adverse outcomes.
