Official title
The International Urinary Tract Infection Cohort
Overview
The goal of this prospective observational study is to collect epidemiological, clinical, microbiological, genetic, and behavioral data on individuals with UTIs. The goal is to better understand which interventions are effective and, subsequently, to facilitate studies that will improve our understanding of the condition, enhance patient care and relief, and help combat antimicrobial resistance. This project will enable us to study episodes of urinary tract infections over a period of at least 2 years and up to 5 years.
Primary outcome measures
- Total number of suspected and microbiologically confirmed urinary tract infections. [Time frame: From enrollment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years, with data collection at regular time points (2 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 and 24 months after enrollment)]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Urinary symptoms/signs suggestive of UTI (as determined by investigators), or a history of such symptoms/signs.
Exclusion criteria
- Unwillingness to provide informed consent (for patients with capacity or for the representatives of those without capacity) and/or inability to provide informed consent (for patients without capacity and without representation).
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
Healthy volunteers: No
