Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among hospitals’ most common presenting causes of sepsis. Some simple UTIs can be managed with outpatient antibiotics, leading to almost universally good outcomes. However, complicated UTIs may lead to florid urosepsis, which can be fatal. Several risk factors can complicate UTIs, leading to treatment failure, repeat infections, or significant morbidity and mortality. It is essential to determine if the patient’s infection may have resulted from one of these risk factors and whether the episode will likely resolve with first-line antibiotics. Complicated UTIs present with more significant morbidity, carry a higher risk of treatment failure, and typically require longer antibiotic courses, frequently requiring additional workup. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of complicated UTIs and highlights the role of interprofessional team members in collaborating to provide well-coordinated care and enhance outcomes for affected patients.
