Effects of the february 6 earthquake on the agents growing in urine cultures and antibiotic resistance rates.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the February 6 earthquake on the bacteria grown in urine cultures and antibiotic resistance of patients admitted to the urology outpatient clinic.
methodsIn this study, 11,397 urine samples requested by the urology outpatient clinic between January 2022 and December 2023 were examined. We evaluated the urine cultures and antibiotic resistance profiles of the pathogens in patients' clinic in the years 2022 and 2023 separately and post-earthquake year 2023 as two separate periods, as the first 6-month period immediately after the earthquake. The pathogens grown in urine cultures and antibiotic resistance profiles were examined retrospectively. Only one of the same strains isolated in consecutive repeated growths in the urine cultures of the patients was included.
resultsOf the 11,397 urine cultures, 6,914 were requested in 2022 and 4,483 were requested in 2023. There was no statistical difference in the growth rate between the years (13.1-14.1%). When the demographic data of the first and last 6 months of 2023 were compared, statistical differences were found between the first and last six months of 2023 in terms of the number of patients for whom culture was requested, the number of culture positives, the reproduction rate, and the number of male and female patients. The total number of patients for whom urine culture was requested was 4483 (1471 in the first six months - 3012 in the last six months) (p=0.008) and the number of culture-positive patients was 630 (184-446) (p=0.007). The reproduction rates were found to be 12.5% and 14.8%, respectively (p=0.047). It was found that the resistance rates of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to gentamicin (GN), cefuroxime (CXM), cefixime (CFM) and ceftazidime (CAZ) groups of antibiotics were higher in the first six-month period of 2023 (p<0.05). Similarly, the resistance rate of Klebsiella spp. to CXM and CAZ groups of antibiotics was found to be higher in the first six-month period of 2023 (p<0.05).
conclusionThe results of our study show that the conditions in communal living areas after the February 6 earthquake had an increasing impact on antibiotic resistance rates and antibiotic resistance rates of certain groups of antibiotics, especially the Enterobacterales group were higher in the first half of 2023.
