Multicentre Prospective Observational Cohort Study Aiming to Collect Medical Data, Create a Database to Facilitate Clinical and Fundamental Research Into Urinary Tract Infections With the Ultimate Goal of Improving Their Treatment. (IUTIC)

March 16, 2026 updated by: Angela HUTTNER

The International Urinary Tract Infection Cohort

The goal of this prospective observational study is to collect epidemiological, clinical, microbiological, genetic, and behavioral data on individuals with UTIs. The goal is to better understand which interventions are effective and, subsequently, to facilitate studies that will improve our understanding of the condition, enhance patient care and relief, and help combat antimicrobial resistance. This project will enable us to study episodes of urinary tract infections over a period of at least 2 years and up to 5 years.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All patients of any age or disposition (in- or outpatient) with a history of, or active, urinary symptoms suggestive of UTI or diagnosed with UTI are eligible for inclusion into SUTIC. Adult (≥18 years) sexual partners of included patients are also eligible.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Urinary symptoms/signs suggestive of UTI (as determined by investigators), or a history of such symptoms/signs.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unwillingness to provide informed consent (for patients with capacity or for the representatives of those without capacity) and/or inability to provide informed consent (for patients without capacity and without representation).

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total number of suspected and microbiologically confirmed urinary tract infections.
Time Frame: From enrollment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years, with data collection at regular time points (2 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 and 24 months after enrollment)
Yearly incidence of suspected and microbiologically confirmed UTI at 12 months among all patients initially presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) or upper urinary tract symptoms (UUTS).
From enrollment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years, with data collection at regular time points (2 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 and 24 months after enrollment)

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
June 6, 2023

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
December 1, 2028

Study Completion (Estimated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
