Study Summary

The specific aim of this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial is to determine if extended release nitrofurantoin antibiotic prophylaxis decreases the incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) compared with placebo for patients undergoing short term indwelling or clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) for acute postoperative urinary retention following pelvic organ prolapse and/or urinary incontinence surgery. Consented patients who undergo urogenital surgery and fail their post-operative voiding trial will be randomized to either extended release nitrofurantoin 100mg or an identical appearing placebo capsule to be taken daily while performing CISC or while indwelling catheter is in place. The primary outcome will be symptomatic and culture confirmed UTI within six weeks of surgery. Secondary outcomes include adverse events associated with nitrofurantoin use, and incidence of nitrofurantoin-resistant isolates from urine culture of symptomatic women. Primary and secondary outcomes will be evaluated with Student t test and chi squared or Fisher exact test as appropriate. Assuming a decrease in symptomatic UTIs attributable to nitrofurantoin prophylaxis from 33% to 13%, with 80% power, and a two-sided alpha of 0.05, and a 10% dropout rate, we should recruit a total of 154 patients.

Primary Outcome

Frequency of symptomatic, culture-proven UTI; included participants who were empirically treated outside of protocol (symptoms but no culture) within 6 weeks of surgery. Positive culture was defined as at least 100,000 colony forming units (cfu)/ml of uropathic bacteria in a catheterized or midstream clean catch voided urine specimen.
