Identification of Risk Factors in Patients with Recurrent Cystitis May Improve Individualized Management.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Management of acute episodes of lower urinary tract infection (LUTI) depends on whether they are sporadic or recurrent. We aimed to define factors that differentiate patients with acute sporadic cystitis (AC) from those with recurrent cystitis (RC) and thereby improve individualized care. Methods: We performed a post hoc analysis of prospectively collected data from the multinational GPIU.COM study. Female patients with an acute LUTI episode completed the Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS) and underwent a routine clinical and laboratory evaluation, including a physical examination, ultrasonography, urinalysis, and urine culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Risk factors for recurrence were evaluated using the Lower Urinary Tract Infection R
