Data are lacking to guide management of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in elderly patients with a fall. Comparing treated versus non-treated patients, we identified clear harm and no benefit from antibiotic treatment. Our data support IDSA recommendations to withhold antibiotics in elderly patients with ASB and evaluate alternative causes of falls.
目前缺乏数据来指导老年跌倒患者无症状菌尿(ASB)的管理。通过比较接受治疗和未接受治疗的患者,我们发现抗生素治疗存在明显危害且无益处。我们的数据支持美国感染病学会(IDSA)的建议,即不对患有ASB的老年患者使用抗生素,并评估跌倒的其他原因。
