Hwang EC, Jung SI, Kwon DD, Lee G, Bae JH, Na YG, Min SK, Son H, Lee SJ, Chung JM, Chung H, Cho IR, Kim YH, Kim TH, Chang IH. A prospective Korean multicenter study for infectious complications in patients undergoing prostate surgery: risk factors and efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis. J Korean Med Sci 2014; 29:1271-7. [PMID: 25246747 PMCID: PMC4168182 DOI: 10.3346/jkms.2014.29.9.1271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2014] [Accepted: 05/27/2014] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
This multicenter study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis and identify the risk factors for infectious complications after prostate surgery in Korean patients. A total of 424 patients who underwent surgery of the prostate were reviewed. All patients underwent urinalysis and urine culture preoperatively and postoperatively. Efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis and risk factors for infectious complications were investigated. Infectious complications were observed in 34.9% of all patients. Factors independently associated with infectious complications were diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.09-3.65, P=0.025) and operation time (adjusted OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.03-1.13, P=0.004). Clinicians should be aware of the high risk of infectious complications in patients with diabetes and those who undergo a prolonged operation time. Neither the type nor duration of prophylactic antibiotics resulted in differences in infectious complications.

Abstract
The use of antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent urinary tract infection and bacteremia (sepsis) following endoscopic urologic procedures is a controversial topic. Evidence in the literature revealed that urological instrumentation is associated with increased incidence of urinary tract infection and bacteremia. The aim of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis in reducing the risk of urinary tract infection in patients who had transurethral urological surgeries. We have selected all RCTs of adult population who underwent all different types of transurethral urological surgery, including cystoscopy, transurethral resection of prostate and transurethral resection of bladder tumor, and received prophylactic antibiotics or placebo/no treatment. At first, more than 3000 references were identified and reviewed; of which 42 studies with a total of 7496 patients were included in the final analysis. All those trials were analyzing antibiotic prophylaxis versus placebo/no treatment, and they were significantly favoring antibiotic use in reducing all outcomes, including bacteriuria (RR 0.36, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.46, P < 0.0001) with moderate heterogeneity detected (I2 48%), symptomatic UTI (RR 0.38, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.51, P < 0.0001) with no significant heterogeneity was detected (I2= 17%), bacteremia (RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.82, P < 0.0001) with no noted heterogeneity (I2 = 0%), and fever ≥38.5 Celsius (RR 0.41, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.73, P = 0.003); also, there was no noted heterogeneity (I2 = 0%). However, using antibiotic prophylaxis did not reduce the incidence of low grade temperature (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.11, P = 0.20) or in moderate grade temperature (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.71 to 1.48, P = 0.89). Antibiotic prophylaxis appears to be an effective intervention in preventing urinary tract infections and its sequels following transurethral urological surgeries in patients with preoperative sterile urine.

Abstract
For urologists, it is very important to master surgical indications and surgical techniques. On the other hand, the knowledge of the prevention of perioperative infections and the improvement of surgical techniques should always be considered. Although the prevention of perioperative infections in each surgical field is a very important issue, the evidence and the number of guidelines are limited. Among them, the preparation of guidelines has progressed, especially in gastrointestinal surgery. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proposed guidelines for the prevention of surgical site infections, which have been used worldwide. In urology, the original guidelines were different from those of general surgery, due to many endourological procedures and urine exposure in the surgical field. The Japanese Society of UTI Cooperative Study Group has thus framed these guidelines supported by The Japanese Urological Association. The guidelines consist of the following nine techniques: open surgeries, laparoscopic surgeries, transurethral resection of bladder tumor, ureterorenoscope and transurethral lithotripsy, transurethral resection of the prostate, prostate biopsy, cystourethroscope, pediatric surgeries in the urological field, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and febrile neutropenia. These are the first guidelines for the prevention of perioperative infections in the urological field in Japan. Although most of these guidelines were made using reliable evidence, there are parts without enough evidence. Therefore, if new reliable data is reported, it will be necessary for these guidelines to be revised in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Urinary tract infections are the leading nosocomial urologic infections and may be a cause of added morbidity and costs, and sometimes sepsis. The aim of this study was to design a predictive score for these complications after prostate surgery. DESIGN Multicenter prospective survey. SETTING Eleven French urology centers. PATIENTS All patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) during a 3-month period. RESULTS The overall incidence of postoperative bacteriuria was 25.0% (95% confidence interval, 17.7%-29.5%). Almost all patients (95.7%) received antibiotic prophylaxis. A predictive postoperative bacteriuria score (POBS), with a 6-point scale of 0 to 5, was constructed on the basis of independent risk factors identified in multivariate analysis of a test sample of patients (n=135) and tested in a validation sample (n=73). Significantly more infections occurred in patients with a POBS of 2 or higher (87 [8%] vs 48 [50%]; P<.0001). With the test sample, this yielded a sensitivity of 77%, a specificity of 77%, a positive predictive value of 50%, a negative predictive value of 92%, and a global accuracy of 77%. CONCLUSIONS POBS could be used to distinguish patients at risk of developing infection after TURP. This information might be useful for implementing selective prevention measures or for adjustment for differences in nosocomial infection rates when comparing data between urology centers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study are to know the incidence of preoperative bacteriuria in patients undergoing endoscopic urologic surgery, to analyze the most frequent microorganisms appearing in the cultures and their resistance to antibiotics in order to select the most appropriate prophylactic one for our population, and to determine the risk factors related to postoperative bacteriuria or sepsis of urologic origin. MATERIAL AND METHODS 449 patients undergoing endoscopic urologic surgery were included in the study. Urinary samples were collected for culture prior to prophylactic antibiotic administration and again a week after bladder catheter removal once the antibiotic treatment was finished. Variables related to an increase in infectious complications were analyzed. Special attention was paid to postoperatory incidences, mainly those of infectious nature. RESULTS Preoperative bacteriuria was found in 66 out of 428 patients (15.4%). It was found to be related to age, sex, previous infection episodes, diabetes mellitus, indwelling catheter and to the pathology for which operation was indicated. The most frequently found microorganism was Escherichia Coli. Resistance to prophylactic antibiotic was found in 37.9% of patients with preoperatory bacteriuria. Postoperatory bacteriuria, observed in 22.0% of the patients was exclusively related to preoperatory bacteriuria. 2.9% of patients showed sepsis of urinary origin criteria during hospital staying, and it was found to be exclusively related to length of surgery and neither to preoperatory bacteriuria nor to indwelling catheter time or the "inappropriate" prophylactic antibiotic use in these cases. CONCLUSIONS A good part of patients who underwent endoscopic surgery showed preoperatory bacteriuria, responsible for postoperative bacteriuria in less than 25% of the cases. The length of surgery seemed to be the only related cause whit sepsis of urinary origin.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined whether antibiotic prophylaxis can reduce the risk of postoperative infective complications in men undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) who have preoperative urine with less than 100,000 bacteria per ml. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE (Elsevier B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials that compared the effects of antibiotic prophylaxis with placebo or active controls for men undergoing TURP with preoperative sterile urine. Two reviewers independently extracted patient characteristic and outcomes data based on a prospectively developed protocol. RESULTS A total of 28 trials, 10 placebo controlled and 18 no treatment controlled, involving 4,694 patients, met the inclusion criteria. The mean age of the subjects was 69 years and the majority underwent TURP for prostatic hyperplasia (85%). Antibiotic prophylaxis was significantly more effective than placebo in reducing postoperative TURP complications. The risk differences for post-TURP bacteriuria, high degree fever, bacteremia and use of additional antibiotic treatment were -0.17 (95% CI 0.20, -0.15), -0.11 (-0.15, -0.06), -0.02 (-0.04, 0.00) and -0.20 (-0.28, -0.11), respectively. The results were observed consistently across all classes of antibiotics assessed. There was no difference in the duration of postoperative catheterization or hospitalization. Adverse events were rare, generally mild, and included allergic reactions, pyrexia and abdominal complaints. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic antibiotics decrease the incidence of post-TURP bacteriuria, high fever, bacteremia and additional antibiotic treatment. Additional research should evaluate the optimal antibiotic regimen, and whether the cost and possibility of the development of resistant strains of organisms justify the routine use of prophylactic antibiotics.

Abstract
AIM To measure the type and frequency of complications for surgical patients 1 month after discharge. METHODS A post-discharge patient survey was conducted in 2000 for patients who had undergone one of five elective operations: transurethral resection of the prostate, hysterectomy, major joint replacement, cholecystectomy, herniorrhaphy. Two hundred and fourteen patients (74%) returned the survey forms, which were sent 1 month after surgery. Patients were recruited from two teaching hospitals in the Hunter Area Health Service, New South Wales, Australia. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-five (63%) patients reported one or more complications and 78 (37%) received treatment for 109 complications. Eighty-six per cent reported pain after discharge and 41% reported moderate to severe pain. Seventeen per cent reported infections after discharge and 94% of these patients were given treatment. Twenty-eight per cent reported bleeding after discharge and 20% of these were given treatment. Eleven (5%) patients were readmitted for treatment of problems related to their surgery including four who required further surgery. One hundred and seventy-two patients accessed a range of health services during the first month after discharge, resulting in 266 occasions of service. Twenty-eight per cent of post-discharge services were unplanned. CONCLUSIONS The lack of post-discharge monitoring conceals information about surgical outcomes. Patient reporting is an effective method of monitoring post-discharge outcomes. There is scope to develop post-discharge services to improve the quality of care in the areas of post-discharge pain management, the use of prophylactic measures and to provide treatment for complications that occur during this period.

Abstract
Urinary tract instrumentation is a significant cause of septicaemia. Review of the literature suggests that selective use of antimicrobials would reduce the risk of septicaemia as this varies between patients and with procedures. Antimicrobial prophylaxis is indicated for patients at high risk of endocarditis, or who are neutropenic. For patients without these risk factors, it is indicated for open, transurethral, or certain forms of laser prostatectomy or trans-rectal prostate biopsy. For cystoscopy, antimicrobials are indicated for patients with preoperative bacteriuria or a preoperative indwelling catheter. Single dose aminoglycosides or oral fluoroquinolones are the agents of choice with the exception of the prevention of endocarditis, where combinations active against streptococci are recommended. For other instrumentations, the risk of antimicrobial toxicity probably outweighs the benefits and a risk-reduction strategy is recommended. Further studies are required to provide definitive answers in many of these areas.

Abstract
This consensus document sets out proposals for antibiotic prophylaxis in abdominal, urological, gynaecological, orthopaedic, vascular and thoracic surgery. As far as possible the recommendations are based on prospective controlled trials. However, for some procedures, e.g. lung surgery and implantation of pacemakers, documentation is lacking but antibiotic prophylaxis is given traditionally. The choice of antibiotics is generally conservative, emphasizing that antibiotics used for therapy should be avoided in prophylactic regimens. Most recommendations are for the use of a first- or second-generation cephalosporin or an isoxazolyl penicillin, when necessary, combined with a nitroimidazole derivative (metronidazole or tinidazole). Suggestions are given for more frequent use of orally administered antibiotics, such as co-trimoxazole, doxycycline, metronidazole or tinidazole. Emphasis is put on short-term prophylaxis. In most cases surgical antibiotic prophylaxis should be given as a single dose and in no case should the prophylaxis time exceed 24 h.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of single-dose antibiotic prophylaxis in transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 139 patients were entered into a prospective randomized trial comparing single-dose antibiotic prophylaxis with no antibiotic before surgery. Twelve patients were excluded because they had significant bacteriuria before surgery (defined as > or = 10(5) bacteria/mL). Of the remaining 127 patients, 62 were allocated to the single-dose group (A) and 65 to the no-antibiotic group (B). All 62 patients in group A received 1 g of ceftriaxone intravenously 1-2 h before surgery with the anaesthetic premedication, the 65 in group B receiving none. Urine cultures were collected post-operatively as the catheter was removed and again 4 weeks after hospitalization. RESULTS The incidence of post-operative bacteriuria was statistically significantly different, occurring in five patients (9%) in group A and 16 patients (26%) in group B (Fisher's exact test, one-tail P = 0.009). There was no significant difference between the groups 4 weeks after hospitalization. The overall incidence of bacteriuria post-operatively and 4 weeks after hospitalization was 11 patients (18%) in group A and 22 patients (34%) in group B (P = 0.03). CONCLUSION Single-dose antibiotic prophylaxis with 1 g of ceftriaxone intravenously is effective in patients undergoing TURP and is recommended for such surgery.

Abstract
A randomized open prospective study with antibodies was conducted on 398 cases of TURP to compare the efficacy of either 250 mg of ciprofloxacin twice daily (CF) or 500 mg/160mg of sulfadiazine-trimethroprim twice daily (ST) in the prevention of urinary and other infection complications. The medication was started on the evening preceding the operation and continued up to the day following the removal of an indwelling catheter. The preoperative risk factors were similar in both groups. The groups did not differ in terms of the duration of the operation, the volume of irrigation fluid or the weight of the resected chips. The incidence of immediate complications was 26% in the CF group and 20% in the ST group. All the complications were minor. There were three serious late complications, one intertervertebral discitis and one coxitis in the CF group and one endocarditis in the ST group. The patient with endocarditis died. One the removal of the indwelling catheter on the third postoperative day, bacteriuria was detected in 3% of the patients in the CF group and in 9% in the ST group. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). One month after TURP, bacteriuria was detected in 7% in both study groups. It is concluded that ciprofloxacin may be more effective to preventing immediate urinary tract infections after TURP than a combination of sulfadiazine and trimethoprim. There were three serious late complications. As late as one month after TURP, bacteriuria was still diagnosed in about 7% of all patients, which is post-TURP monitoring of urinary values is important.

Abstract
Improvements in antibiotic prophylaxis, including the timing of initial administration, appropriate choice of antibiotic agents, and the limiting of the duration of administration, have more clearly defined the value of this technique in many clinical surgical settings. Studies of antibiotic prophylaxis designed during the next decade should strongly consider individual patient risk factors when new antibiotic agents are tested or administration techniques are refined. A concentrated effort should be made in areas of clinical surgery in which the value of antibiotic prophylaxis has not been proven. When in doubt, it appears that a one-dose systemic regimen of an appropriately chosen cephalosporin given during the immediate preoperative period is safe and the indicated practice.
