- BackgroundUrinary tract infection (UTI) is a common complication among patients with hip fractures. Receiving an indwelling urinary catheter is a risk factor for developing UTIs. Treatment of symptomatic UTIs with antibiotics is expensive and can result in the development of antimicrobial resistance. Cranberries (lat. Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) are thought to prevent UTI. There is no previous research on this potential effect in patients with hip fracture who receive urinary catheters.AimTo investigate whether cranberry capsules given pre- and postoperatively are useful in preventing hospital-acquired UTIs in female patients with hip fracture and urinary catheter.DesignRandomised, placebo-controlled double-blind trial.MethodFemale patients, age 60 years and older, with hip fracture were recruited (n=227). The patients were randomised to receive cranberry (n=113) or placebo (n=114) capsules daily, from admission to the ward, until five days postoperatively. Urine cultures were obtained at admission and at five and 14 days postoperatively. In addition, EQ-5D assessments were performed and patients were screened for UTI symptoms.ResultThere was no difference between the groups in the proportion of patients with postoperative positive urine cultures. When excluding patients with positive cultures at admission, patients with antibiotic treatment during follow-up, and patients that did not adhere to the protocol, there was a trend towards a protective effect of cranberry treatment against hospital-acquired UTIs ; e.g. 36% (n=33) in the control group vs. 22% (n=41) in cranberry group (p=0.17) at 5 days postoperatively.ConclusionCranberry concentrate does not seem to have an effect in preventing UTI in female patients with hip fracture and indwelling urinary catheter.
