About this trial
For seniors aged 65 and over (inclusive) undergoing surgical procedures (bone surgery, traumatology, orthopedics) in an acute or elective setting, the relationship between preoperative urinary tract infection/colonization (within 30 days before the procedure) and the occurrence of predefined postoperative complications (monitoring during the patients' hospitalization) will be observed

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Urinary tract infection preoperatively - signs and symptoms
Signs and symptoms include dysuria, frequency, urgency, or/and fever or/and smelling urine and non-specific signs (nausea, malaise)
Urinary tract infection preoperatively - urinary dipstick test.
Positive urine dipstict test (i.e. nitrate-reductace and leukocyte esterase detection).
Urinary tract infection preoperatively - chemical examination of the urine and sediment - pH
Positive result in chemical examination of the urine and the sediment for the possibility of infection s: pH ≥ 6.
Urinary tract infection preoperatively: chemical examination - proteinuria (urine dipstick test)
Detection of proteinuria with urine dipstick test.
Secondary outcomes
Clinical frailty scale (CFS) preoperatively
The CFS is a nine-point scale based on clinical evaluation of mobility, energy, physical activity, and function. Clinical Frailty Scale Components: 1. Very fit, 2. Well, 3. Managing Well:, 4. Living With Very Mild Frailty, 5. Living with Mild Frailty: 6. Living With Moderate Frailty, 6. Living With Severe Frailty, 8. Living with Very Severe Frailty, 9. Terminally Ill
Preoperative antibiotic therapy
Preoperatively, it will be assessed whether the patient received antibiotic treatment for a urinary tract infection prior to surgery. The result will be recorded as yes or no.
