Brief Summary:
To establish a relationship between changed prescribing pattern and associated shift in sensitivity trend of causative microbes in patients of uncomplicated urinary tract infection in a closed community
Detailed Description:
Antibiotic resistance has become a startling issue in last two decades. Many strategies are being followed to combat antibiotic resistance; revival of older, effective antibiotics is one of those approaches. Urinary tract infection is one of the most common indication for which antibiotics are prescribed. Despite having published guidelines in urinary tract infection, studies show that there is wide variability in prescription. The proposed study is designed to reinforce the guideline among a group of prescribers and evaluate the associated shift in sensitivity pattern of common urinary pathogens. This study will be a double center, controlled clinical trial. In this study, the prescribers in intervention arm will be given educational intervention and in control arm no intervention will be given. When a patient is diagnosed as a case of uncomplicated urinary tract infection clinically in intervention arm, after fulfilling the study criteria the patient will be enrolled in the study. Prescription data will be collected on daily basis and sensitivity data will be collected monthly. Clinical outcome of the patients enrolled in the study will be measured over telephone, after completion of their treatment. Sensitivity pattern will be analysed monthly after collection of sensitivity data from the laboratory affiliated with the hospital. All these data will be compiled and analysed at the end of the study. In control arm, prescription data will be collected fortnightly and sensitivity data will be collected monthly. All these data will be compiled and analysed at the end of the study. After approval from the institutional review board (IRB), enrolled patient will be informed about the intervention and the study.Informed written consent will be taken from all the patients, who will take part in the study willingly. Patient's anonymity will be maintained and will be used for study purpose only.
