Key Points

To examine the incidence of urinary tract infection-related hospitalizations and identify contributing factors in older adults in long-term care facilities.
Analyzed hospitalization data from long-term care facilities
Identified factors associated with urinary tract infections
Evaluated current prevention and management strategies
High incidence of hospitalizations due to urinary tract infections was found
Effective strategies can significantly reduce these hospitalizations
Current management practices need improvement to minimize UTI incidence

Implication

Analysis reveals high UTI-related hospitalizations in long-term care facilities, indicating a need for better prevention and management strategies.

Abstract

A considerable burden of UTI-associated hospitalizations was observed in Australian LTCFs, which can be minimized through implementing effective UTI prevention, detection, and management strategies.
