Background: Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, especially in women. When oral antimicrobial prophylaxis is ineffective or not possible due to allergies or antimicrobial resistance, intravesical aminoglycoside instillations (IAIs) are a non-systemic alternative. Objectives: To assess treatment satisfaction, long-term safety and efficacy of IAIs for recurrent UTI. Methods: We conducted a cohort study using data collected between January 2013 and June 2022 at the Leiden University Medical Center. Adult patients with recurrent UTI who received prophylactic IAI were eligible for inclusion. Treatment satisfaction was assessed through a survey. Data on serum aminoglycoside concentrations, cystoscopy results and number of recurrences were obtained through chart review. Number of recurrences and UTI characteristics were compared between patients on and off IAI using Poisson and logistic mixed effects models. Results: Forty-four patients were included (median follow-up time 976â
days) and 323 UTIs occurred during follow-up. Overall treatment satisfaction was high (median 79.2/100). All but one patient had undetectable serum aminoglycoside levels and no malignancies were found on follow-up cystoscopy. IAI increased the time to first recurrence (102â
days versus 36â
days, Pâ=â0.02), reduced the number of recurrences (rate ratio 0.75, 95% CI 0.56-0.99, P =â0.04) and the necessity for systemic antibiotics (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.13-0.86, Pâ=â0.02). Conclusions: In patients with recurrent UTI, IAI was associated with high treatment satisfaction, and was found to be a safe and effective alternative to oral antimicrobial prophylaxis.
