Official title

The Efficacy and Cost-effectiveness of a 24-hour Course of metheNamine Hippurate for Preventing Post-Operative Urinary Tract Infection

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The investigators will determine the efficacy of an innovative short regimen of methenamine hippurate on prevention of post-operative UTI in patients requiring short-term catheterization after pelvic reconstructive surgery through a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Primary outcome will be the rate of symptomatic UTI within 3 weeks of catheter removal. The investigators will study cost-effectiveness, antibiotic resistance profiles, and adverse drug effects. Findings may reduce antibiotic use and nosocomial UTIs.
