Risk factors for uroseptic shock in hospitalized patients aged over 80 years with urinary tract infection.


ABSTRACT: BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes in individuals of different age groups with urinary tract infection (UTI), and to identify the relationships among advanced age and uroseptic shock.MethodsThis retrospective study compared clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients in different age groups with UTI and identified relationships between advanced age and uroseptic shock among hospitalized patients with UTI in an acute hospital care setting from January 2006 to October 2018. Patients were divided into young (age below 65 years), old (65–80 years), and very old (above 80 years) groups.ResultsOf 1,043 participants, 269 (25.8%) were very old and 200 (19.2%) developed uroseptic shock. Very old age [odds ratio (OR) 1.99, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25–3.19, P=0.004], male (OR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.07–2.24, P=0.022), presented flank pain (OR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.05–2.24, P=0.025), congestive heart failure (CHF) (OR 2.54, 95% CI: 1.27–5.06, P=0.008), acute kidney injury (AKI) (OR 4.19, 95% CI: 2.78–6.30, P<0.001), bacteremia (OR 1.78, 95% CI: 1.25–2.53, P=0.001), and multiple drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria (OR 1.43, 95% CI: 1.02–2.00, P=0.039) were associated with an increased risk of uroseptic shock in patients with UTI. In very old patients with UTI, bacteremia (OR 2.54, 95% CI: 1.38–4.69, P=0.003) and AKI (OR 4.37, 95% CI: 2.15–8.90, P<0.001) were independently associated with uroseptic shock.ConclusionsVery old patients with UTI had a higher risk of developing uroseptic shock than younger patients. Bacteremia was an independent risk factor for uroseptic shock in very old patients with UTI.
