Outcomes associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria management in elderly patients hospitalized with a ground-level fall
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...

| description | Data are lacking to guide management of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in elderly patients with a fall.

Our data support IDSA recommendations to withhold antibiotics in elderly patients with ASB and evaluate alternative causes of falls. |
