Risk of urinary tract infection after urodynamic studies in patients with recurrent urinary tract infection

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common complication seen after urodynamic studies (UDS). It is unknown whether having a history of recurrent UTI increases this risk or leads to worse UTI outcomes. The primary objective of this study is to identify the incidence of UTI after UDS in patients with a history of recurrent UTI. The secondary objective is to compare the UTI outcomes of patients with and without a history of recurrent UTI.
