Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are acute infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms that can affect the kidneys, bladder, urethra, and ureters.Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more common in women than men.
The most common symptoms include pain and burning during urination, fever, urgency, hematuria, nocturia, and pelvic pain or pressure.
Prevention and treatment of UTIs are based on patient education and antibiotic administration.Uncomplicated UTIs can be effectively managed out-of-hospital;inappropriate treatment can lead to serious complications and the need for hospitalization. Calculating the “Hospitalizations for urinary tract infections” indicator allows us to assess the quality of community care for this condition, since appropriate out-of-hospital management reduces the occurrence of complications and consequently the need for hospitalization for these patients.
