Incidence of and Risk Factors for Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Renal Transplant Recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) are common after renal transplantation (RTx), and the impact on graft and patient survival remains controversial.

Objective

In this study, we investigate the incidence and risk factors for rUTIs in a cohort of RTx recipients and evaluate the effect on graft and patient survival.

Design setting and participants

A retrospective cohort of adult patients who underwent RTx at Rigshospitalet, Denmark, between 2014 and 2021 was evaluated in this study.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

Risk factors for rUTIs were explored with a multivariable cause-specific Cox proportional hazard analysis. The Kaplan-Meier estimate was used to assess overall survival.

Results and limitations

A total of 571 RTx r
