Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common infections occurred in elderly. The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the UTI in elderly people and to determine the most risk factors for serious clinical complications of UTI.
Methodology: Data of a descriptive cross sectional study were collected from Central Bani Waleed Hospital, 106 UTI patients over 60 year old were involved in this study.
Results: The most age group effected with UTI was 70-79 y (35.8%), followed by age group 60-69 y (31.1%). The men old people were more susceptible to UTI than women one (51.8% and 48.1% respectively), as well as elderly diabetic patients were susceptible to UTI more than non-diabetic (58.4% and 41.5% respectively). E.coli represented the most causative agent of UTI (71.7%). Cystitis (65.09 %) was the most prevalent UTI among elderly than pyelonephritis (34.91%).
Conclusion: As the human age progress , the resistance of immune system deficiencies gradually become more susceptible to infectious diseases. The UTI one of these infections that can lead to serious complications in elderly immunocompromised. In addition, the comorbidities factors increase the directly affected of old people to UTI.
