The prevalence of multidrug resistance in uropathogens of patients admitted in the intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital.
Article in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections, posing significant public health challenges due to increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study aims to assess the prevalence, demographic characteristics, microbial profile, and antimicrobial resistance patterns in Indian patients with UTIs admitted to intensive care unit. A total of 154 patients with positive UTIs were included in this cross-sectional study. The prevalence data including demographics, microbial isolates, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns were collected. Additionally, risk factors for multidrug resistance uropathogens were assessed using multivariate analyses. The patient cohort had diverse demographic, with a slight male predominance of 52.6% (n = 81). The most common comorbidities were hypertension 59.1% (n = 91) and diabetes mellitus 54.5% (n = 84). The microbial profile was dominated by gram-negative bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli 26.62% (n = 41) and Klebsiella pneumoniae 17.53% (n = 27). The predominant gram-positive and fungal isolate was Enterococcus faecium 7.14% (n = 11) and Candida spp. 18.83% (n = 29), respectively. Substantial resistance was noted against common antimicrobials, with variations across different pathogens. Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, exhibited high MDR rates, emphasizing the challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Multivariate logistic regression identified age groups 50-65 and over 65, and prolonged catheterization as significant risk factors for MDR infections. A significantly high resistance rate among pathogens emphasizes the need for judicious antimicrobial use. Our findings emphasize the necessity of ongoing surveillance and tailored interventions based on local pathogen prevalence and antibiogram data to effectively address the threat of AMR threat for better management of UTI management in ICU settings.
