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

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age over 65 years, including

Elective or acute trauma/orthopedic bone surgery

Urine examination as part of pre-anesthetic examination, urine + sediment, in case of suspicion - bacteriological examination

Signed informed consent for research as part of pre-anesthetic examination (I or II), respecting informed consent as an expression of the patient's "free will"

Disqualifiers

Negative finding in urine: chemical examination + sediment preoperatively

Respondent under the influence of premedication, alcohol, or drugs

Sensory impairment (blindness)

Delirious preoperative state

Trial population

For seniors over 65 years (including), undergoing surgery (bone procedure, traumatology, orthopedics) in an acute or elective mode, the relationship between preoperative infection/colonization of the urinary tract (within 30 days before the procedure) and the occurrence of predefined postoperative complications will be monitored.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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)

Time frame
one week before surgery
2

Urinary tract infection preoperatively - urinary dipstick test.

Positive urine dipstict test (i.e. nitrate-reductace and leukocyte esterase detection).

Time frame
one week before surgery
3

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.

Time frame
one week before surgery
4

Urinary tract infection preoperatively: chemical examination - proteinuria (urine dipstick test)

Detection of proteinuria with urine dipstick test.

Time frame
one week before surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
one week before surgery
2

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.

Time frame
one week before surgery
