Risk factors for poor prognosis in adult outpatient urinary tract infection: a meta-analysis
Older age, male sex, elevated CRP, and diabetes are predictors of adverse outcomes in both patients with cystitis and PN. Elevated PCT, creatinine, hypotension, and fever predict hospitalisation in patients with PN only. These findings support risk stratification and patient management, but further studies are needed to consolidate knowledge on risk factors, especially for patients with cystitis.
