2233. Clinical Risk Scores (CRSs) to Predict Resistance to Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), Fluoroquinolone (FQ), Nitrofurantoin (NIT), or Third Generation Cephalosporins (3GC) among Adult Outpatients (OPs) with Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (cUTIs)
Abstract:Background
Increased resistance rates to available oral antibiotics (ABs) contribute to delays in receipt of appropriate treatment and adverse outcomes among patients with cUTI in the OP setting. To optimize empiric AB selection in adult OPs with cUTIs, we developed CRSs using information available at presentation to estimate the risk of having a cUTI that was resistant to TMP-SMX, FQ, NIT, or 3GC.
