1 TO SEND OR NOT TO SEND? THE ROLE OF URINE CULTURES IN UNCOMPLICATED UTI Patricia Moriarty, MSN, FNP-BC, APRN June 3, 2016
2 OBJECTIVES 1. List the indications for a urine culture. 2. Define an uncomplicated UTI 3. Define a complicated UTI 4. List three first-line antibiotic regimens for the treatment of lower UTI.
3 Pop Quiz: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CYSTITIS? (Medscape 4/1/2016) Which of the following causes most uncomplicated cystitis cases? A. Proteus mirabilis B. Escherichia coli C. Klebsiella pneumonia D. Enterococcus faecalis
4 Pop Quiz: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CYSTITIS? (Medscape 4/1/2016) Which of the following is the most important risk factor for cystitis in women? A. Interference with the flow of urine (eg. stone in the bladder) B. Antibiotic use C. Allergies D. Sexual activity
5 Pop Quiz: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CYSTITIS? (Medscape 4/1/2016) Which of the following symptoms is suggestive of pyelonephritis rather than cystitis? A. Nausea and vomiting B. Hematuria C. Dysuria D. Flank pain
6 Pop Quiz: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CYSTITIS? (Medscape 4/1/2016) Which of the following is the criterion standard for diagnosis of a UTI? A. Urine microscopy B. Dipstick testing C. Urine Culture D. Nitrate test
7 Pop Quiz: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CYSTITIS? (Medscape 4/1/2016) Which of the following statements is true regarding the treatment of uncomplicated acute cystitis in women? A. Women who receive effective antibiotic treatment still typically experience severe symptoms for at least 7 days. B. Without treatment, a significant number of uncomplicated cystitis cases in women spontaneously resolve. C. The likelihood of uncomplicated acute cystitis that goes untreated progressing to pyelonephritis is high. D. The first-choice agents for treatment of uncomplicated acute cystitis are beta-lactam antibiotics.

9 Reason for UTI TQI Study Visits for urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for many patient visits at Student Health Services: According to ICD (now ICD 10 code N39.0) (UTI), the following encounters were noted: 671 patient encounters from 8/1/2012 to 7/31/2013 (716 encounters from 8/1/2011 to 7/31/2012) 270 patient encounters from 1/1/2013 to 5/31/2013 (352 encounters from 8/1/2012 to 12/19/2012) Inconsistencies amongst providers ordering urine cultures had been originally proposed and confirmed at the 2012 audit (49% did not meet evidence based criteria for obtaining a urine culture). A follow up audit was indicated to note any change in practice after 1/2013 education and the implementation of a UTI template for SHS EMR. Per ACOG, a urine culture is not required for the initial treatment of women with a symptomatic lower urinary tract infection (UTI)..
10 Purpose of UTI TQI Study Whether evidence-based practice interventions regarding the ordering of urine cultures utilized at SHS changed after education and implementation of a UTI template for SHS EMR. Research reveals a urine culture is NOT indicated for the vast majority of UTIs. To identify the role of urine cultures in uncomplicated UTIs according to evidence-based practice at SHS. To identify the cost effectiveness of urine culture tests performed at SHS. urine culture: $48.00 plus urine sensitivity: $47.00 TOTAL: $95.00
11 UTIs According to UpToDate 2016: Urine dipstick in the absence of a urine culture is sufficient for diagnosis of uncomplicated cystitis if symptoms are consistent with a UTI unless there is reason to suspect antimicrobial resistance or other complicating features!
12 Co-Morbidities & Complicating Factors DM Immunosuppression Urologic Structural/Functional Abnormality Spinal Cord Injury Nephrolithiasis Recent hospitalization/catheter Symptoms for > 7 days Pregnancy Vaginitis symptoms/std concerns Pyridium use Recent UTI treatment Travel outside the U.S. in the preceding 3-6 months
13 Uncomplicated UTI Dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain and/or hematuria are consistent with symptoms of an uncomplicated UTI Absence of fever, chills, flank pain, CVAT, N/V or other suspicion for pyelonephritis Able to take oral medication No antimicrobial therapy for a UTI within 6 months
14 Urine Culture Indications If symptoms are not characteristic of an uncomplicated UTI If there are the presence of co morbidities If symptoms persist for > 7 days or recur within 6 months of antimicrobial therapy If a complicated infection is suspected such as pyelonephritis
15 Urine Dipsticks Leukocyte esterase may be used to detect > 10 leukocytes per high power field (sensitivity of 75-96%; specificity of 94-98%). The nitrite test is fairly sensitive and specific though it lacks adequate sensitivity for detection of other organisms so negative results should be interpreted with caution. Dipstick analysis is the least expensive and time intensive test.
16 Microbial Spectrum E. coli (75-95%) Enterobacteriaceae such as Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae Staphylococcus saprophyticus Resistance rates > 15-20% necessitate a change in antibiotic class
17 E. coli Sensitivity Updated 1/22/2013 CIPROFLOXACIN CEPHALOTHIN SULFAMETHOXAZOLE % Sensitive Intermediate Sensitivity NITROFURANTOIN Resistent sensitive TETRACYCLINE AMPICILLIN Total Cases Treated

24
25 Treatment Regimens For Uncomplicated Acute Bacterial Cystitis Antimicrobial Agent Dose When to avoid Nitrofurantoin SHS cost $27.00 Bactrim DS SHS cost $ mg PO BID x 5 days Suspicion for early pyelonephritis and is contraindicated when creatinine clearance is < 60mL/min One tab PO BID x 3 days Avoid if resistance rate > 20%. Avoid if use in the past 3-6 months and travel, particularly international travel. Fosfomycin Not offered at SHS Expensive No generic 3 gm single dose Avoid if there is suspicion for early pyelonephritis
26 Second-Line Therapy For Uncomplicated Acute Bacterial Cystitis Antimicrobial Agent Fluoroquinolones (FQ) are effective but should be reserved for more invasive infections.
27 Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) IDSA first published clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of UTI in 1999 followed by an update in Macrobid is under-prescribed, while TMP/SMX and Cipro are over-prescribed per IDSA.

49 UTI EMR Scenario for UTI
50 Telephone Management Strategy for Acute Uncomplicated Cystitis JAMA. 2014;312(16): doi: /jama Example of a Telephone Management Strategy for Acute Uncomplicated Cystitis Individuals Eligible for Telephone Management Adult women with acute onset (duration, <7-10 days) of at least 1 of the following: dysuria, frequency, urgency, or gross hematuria. No flank or abdominal pain No fever (>100.5 F) Ability to urinate in past 4 hours Able to take oral medications Not pregnant a No comorbid conditions (eg, immunosuppression) a No voiding abnormalities (eg, neurogenic bladder) No history of sexually transmitted disease or new sex partner No vaginal symptoms No recent urinary tract infection (past 4-6 weeks) or urological procedure
51 Telephone Management Strategy for Acute Uncomplicated Cystitis JAMA. 2014;312(16): doi: /jama Therapy Regimens Modify based on local susceptibility rates. Preferred: Fosfomycin, one 3-g dose Nitrofurantoin, 100 mg twice a day for 5 days Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 1 double-strength tablet twice daily for 3 days Alternative: Ciprofloxacin, 250 mg twice daily for 3 days
52 CONCLUSION Acute uncomplicated UTI in women can be diagnosed without an office visit (telephone) or a urine culture. Define an uncomplicated UTI.
53 Uncomplicated UTI Uncomplicated UTIs are defined as: Acute onset of dysuria, urgency, and/or frequency in a healthy pre-menopausal nonpregnant woman without known functional or anatomical abnormalities of the urinary tract! Absence of fever Absence of vaginal symptoms
54 Complicated UTI DM (some research questions) Immunosuppression Urologic Structural/Functional Abnormality Spinal Cord Injury Nephrolithiasis Recent hospitalization/catheter Symptoms for > 7 days Pregnancy Vaginitis symptoms/std concerns Pyridium use Recent UTI treatment Travel outside the U.S. in the preceding 3-6 months
55 Post Test Questions A 20-year-old woman with NKDA presents to the university student health service with a 2-day history of increasing urinary frequency along with urgency and dysuria. Her urine is reportedly blood tinged. She has no history of a prior UTI. The patient had recently become sexually active and she was using a barrier contraception with spermicide. 1. Is this a complicated or uncomplicated UTI? 2. Does this patient need a urine culture? 3. Would a telephone visit be appropriate? 4. What antibiotic should this pt receive? 5. What other questions would you ask?
56 Post Test Questions Now this same 20 y/o female college student returns in one month with the same urinary symptoms plus genital pain. Patient denies any other related symptoms and this patient is asking for Bactrim DS that she received one month ago because it worked. 1. Complicated or uncomplicated UTI? 2. Does this patient need a urine culture? 3. Does this patient need an exam? 4. Would you prescribe Bactrim DS because it worked last time to resolve her urinary symptoms?
