Up to 11% of girls and 7% of boys will have had a urinary tract infection (UTI) by the age of 16 years, and recurrence of infection is common. Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) is identified in up to 40% of children being investigated for a first UTI, and is a risk factor for, but weak predictor of, renal parenchymal defects.
We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical questions: What are the effects of prophylactic antibiotics to prevent recurrent urinary tract infection in children? We searched: Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and other important databases up to December 2013 (Clinical Evidence reviews are updated periodically; please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this review).
We found three studies that met our inclusion criteria. We performed a GRADE evaluation of the quality of evidence for interventions.
In this systematic review we present information relating to the effectiveness and safety of the following intervention: prophylactic antibiotics.
到16岁时,高达11%的女孩和7%的男孩会发生尿路感染(UTI),且感染复发很常见。在因首次UTI接受检查的儿童中,高达40%被发现存在膀胱输尿管反流(VUR),它是肾实质缺损的一个危险因素,但预测能力较弱。
我们进行了一项系统评价,旨在回答以下临床问题:预防性使用抗生素对预防儿童复发性尿路感染有何效果?我们检索了:截至2013年12月的医学期刊数据库(Medline)、荷兰医学文摘数据库(Embase)、考克兰图书馆及其他重要数据库(《临床证据》综述会定期更新;请查看我们的网站获取本综述的最新版本)。
我们找到了三项符合纳入标准的研究。我们对干预措施的证据质量进行了GRADE评估。
在本系统评价中,我们提供了有关以下干预措施有效性和安全性的信息:预防性使用抗生素。
