Description

Abstract:: Identifying disparities in healthcare is important for patient safety. In this national cohort of outpatients with a UTI, differences in potentially suboptimal antibiotic treatment were noted by age, sex, race, ethnicity, and rural-urban residence. Potentially suboptimal treatment was increased in older and male residents, which may be explained by more complicated infections and comorbidity burden. Subgroup differences among racial and ethnic minority groups and rural residents may point to disparities in outpatient UTI treatment. Antibiotic stewardship efforts focused on improving UTI treatment among racial and ethnic minority groups and rural residents may reduce disparities.
