Prolonged hospitalization should be expected for a man with diabetes and long-term catheterization who is older than 65 years or for a woman of any age with the same characteristics, when the initial treatment was changed according to the results of urine culture. Additional predictors included nephrolithiasis in women and a history of recurrent AP in men. Results Recent hospitalization, previous use of antibiotics, and immunosuppression were found to be independent correlates of the prevalence of resistant pathogens in both sexes. We considered 13 potential risk factors in a multivariate analysis. Methods A retrospective chart review of 225 patients (102 men) admitted with AP.
