Introduction. Lower urinary tract infection are a common urologic disease, but a therapy is not always optimal.
Aim: to evaluate the compliance of prescriptions made by urologists in treatment of patients with lower urinary tract infection, in particular with acute uncomplicated cystitis.
Materials and methods. A specially designed questionnaire was filled out by 161 urologists from Novosibirsk, Barnaul and Krasnoyarsk, as well as participants of VII Congress of urologists of Siberia.
Results. The survey showed that 34.8%, 27.9%, 22.4% and 14.9% of urologists had 6-10, 11-20, 1-5 and more than 20 patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis a month, respectively. According to results, 91.9% of urologists are familiar to National guidelines on treatment of lower urinary tract infections and 91.2% of doctors consider them to be reasonable. Among those surveyed, 29.2% of urologists believe that National Guidelines differ from European Guidelines; 95.7% of participants adhere to recommendations, but only 47.4% respect it almost always, 16.9% do it in half of cases and the remaining 35.7% comply with them in less than 40% cases.
Moreover, 86.4% of urologists started a treatment of acute cystitis with antimicrobial therapy and preferred fosfomycin in 41.0%, nitrofurans in 20.9%, fluoroquinolones in 21.6% and cephalosporins in 16.5% cases, respectively. Almost all respondents (93.8%) are convinced that antibiotic therapy should be accompanied by phytotherapy, and 71.5% of urologists administer Canephron.
