The variables Bacteriuria and Institution presented statistical association with the occurrence of urinary tract infection. Conclusion: It is observed that the incidence of urinary tract infection in the study was smaller than in other similar international and national studies, however this is an important world health problem for the older population, with impact on mortality of these individuals.

Método: Coorte concorrente realizada no período de 01 de abril a 01 de outubro de 2015. O estudo foi realizado em duas instituições de longa permanência, na cidade de Belo Horizonte, MG, com 84 idosos incontinentes. Resultados: A incidência acumulada de infecção do trato urinário foi de 19% (IC 95%: 7,83-23,19) e a densidade de incidência foi de 3,6 casos/100 pessoas-mês de seguimento. As variáveis Bacteriúria e Instituição apresentaram associação estatística com a ocorrência de infecção do trato urinário. Conclusão: Observa-se que a incidência de infecção do trato urinário no estudo foi menor que em outros estudos nacionais e internacionais semelhantes, no entanto trata-se de um importante problema de saúde mundial para os idosos, com impacto na mortalidade desses indivíduos.

Clinical and laboratory assessment is needed to establish a diagnosis of urinary tract infectionThere are several approaches to diagnosing urinary tract infection in older adults, with certain common elements in diagnostic criteria. The accepted criteria are two clinical symptoms (from the following list: temperature > 38°C, urinary urgency or frequency, acute dysuria, hypogastric pain, costovertebral angle tenderness) and laboratory findings of bacteriuria (> 100 000 colony-forming units/mL) or pyuria (> 10 leukocytes/high-power field).

“…Two other predictors remaining in the final stepwise model age >81 year, OR = 0.53 (CI = 0.33-0.84) and LOS > 11 days 2.61 (CI = 1.67-4.10). Younger older is more fit, and is less at risk for UTI [18]. To get an UTI in a hospital setting, may reduce the total health situation and prolong the LOS.…”
