Clinical and Microbiological Characteristics and Outcomes of Complicated Urinary Tract Infections Managed in a Hospital-at-home Programme: a Prospective Observational Cohort Study.
Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) are a frequent indication for admission to Hospital-at-Home (HaH) and outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) programmes. We describe the clinical, urological and microbiological profile, antimicrobial treatment and outcomes of a cUTI cohort managed in a HaH unit, and explored, in an exploratory analysis, factors associated with the 30-day composite of unplanned readmission or death. Prospective observational single-centre cohort of 262 consecutive cUTI episodes managed in a tertiary HaH unit (March 2023-October 2025). Baseline, urological, microbiological, treatment and outcome variables were recorded prospectively. Bivariate comparisons and an exploratory multivariable logistic regression were used to examine associations with the composite endpoint. Median age was 79.7 years (Q1-Q3 66.1–87.2); 76.0
