Impact of recently initiated medications on the incidence of urinary tract infections in patients with type 2 diabetes: an observational case-control study

Opioids, statins, amoxicillin, metformin, and PPIs were the top 5 medications prescribed prior to the UTI event based on percentage point difference. SGLT2i were not in the top 10 medications initiated prior to UTI. This adds to existing literature that other new start medications may be correlated with a higher risk of developing a UTI such as opioids and PPIs than SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM.
