The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recommends numerous antibiotics for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes of oral step-down antibiotics compared with continued intravenous therapy in UTIs without bacteraemia. This multicentre, retrospective, cohort study was conducted in hospitalised patients with ESBL-producing UTIs between July 2016 and March 2020. The primary outcome was a composite all-cause clinical failure, defined as 30-day re-admission, 30-day hospital mortality or a change in oral antibiotics during hospitalisation. Secondary outcomes included individual primary outcome components, re-admission due to a recurrent UTI, change in antibiotic during hospitalisation, hospital length of stay (LOS), antibiotic costs and adverse events. The study included 153 patients. The primary outcome occurred in 28% of both groups (27/95 vs. 16/58; P = 0.91). The primary outcome components were similar: re-admission (26% vs. 26%; P = 0.95); hospital mortality (2% vs. 2%; P = 1.0); and change in antibiotics (0% vs. 2%; P = 0.38). Mean hospital LOS and direct antibiotic costs were 8 & PLUSMN; 6 days vs. 5 & PLUSMN; 2 days ( P < 0.01) and US$278 & PLUSMN; 244 vs. US$180 & PLUSMN; 104 ( P < 0.01), respectively. Adverse events were similar, except diarrhoea (15% vs. 2%; P = 0.01). There was no difference in clinical failure, re-admission rate, re-admission due to a recurrent UTI, mortality rate or antibiotic change between groups. The switch group was associated with reduced hospital LOS and inpatient antibiotic costs.(C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd and International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. All rights reserved.
