Ramos-Castaneda JA, Ruano-Ravina A, Munoz-Price LS, et al. - Through a cohort study among 149 patients who underwent urologic surgery at a single center located in Medellín, Colombia, researchers intended to discover the risk of infections in patients who undergo urologic surgery based on the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB). For ASB, the incidence was 14.8%. Thirteen individuals got infectious complications ie, three and ten with ASB and without ASB, respectively. Urologic cancers, urologic interventions in the preceding 3 months, and the use of antibiotics 3 months prior to surgery were factors linked to postoperative infectious complications. The presence of ASB had no correlation with postsurgical infectious complications. Hence, no relationship between ASB and postoperative infectious complications could be concluded. Moreover, urologic cancer, previous history of urologic manipulation, and antibiotic use were other various factors correlated with infectious complications.
