Abstract
The study ‘’Prevalence of urinary tract infection in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction” was conducted among 50 patients admitted in ICCU / IMCU and 25 controls admitted in IMCU of Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. From the patients who satisfied inclusion criteria, urine samples were collected for culture within 6 hours of admission. All patients were subjected to detailed history taking, clinical examination, blood investigations in addition to 12 lend ECG, Echo and USG of prostate. The baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were similar between cases and controls. Among cases with STEMI, 11 out of 50 (22%) had UTI whereas 3 out of 25 (12%) of controls had UTI. The relative risk (1.23) was > 1 indicating positive association between STEMI and UTI. Predominantly Gram Negative Bacilli(GNB) were isolated. Regarding risk factors, 63.63% of cases with UTI were hypertensives compared to 25.6 % of cases without UTI. Therefore UTI patients more often had hypertension than their counterparts without UTI. Other risk factors like diabetes, smoking and hyperlipidemia though more commonly observed in patients without UTI, could not be correlated as it was not statistically significant.
