Infective Complications in TP Biopsy Without Antibiotic Prophylaxis

April 8, 2024 updated by: CHIU Ka Fung Peter, Chinese University of Hong Kong

Infective Complications in Transperineal Prostate Biopsy Without Antibiotic Prophylaxis: A Prospective Cohort Study

This study is a prospective cohort study to delineate the infective outcomes and incidence after transperineal prostate biopsy with no antibiotic prophylaxis, compared to the existing data on outcomes on patients receiving transperineal prostate biopsy with antibiotic prophylaxis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

All consecutive patients receiving transperineal prostate biopsy in the PWH will be recruited to the exposure cohort after informed consent. Antibiotic prophylaxis will not be given for patients in the exposure group. All patients will undergo transperineal prostate biopsy in the usual manner and technique, under the Ginsburg protocol. Systematic and MRI-TRUS fusion for systematic plus targeted biopsy will be performed based on the usual clinical indications, depending on the clinical need. Follow-up data will be collected, with particular interest on the assessment of infective complications.

Prospectively collected data will also be retrieved from the electronic patient record (ePR) under the Hospital Authority, to assess relevant information on infective complications for patients who received transperineal prostate biopsy in PWH and NDH from 2019 to 2023. These patients received antibiotic prophylaxis prior to their biopsies, and eligible patients will be included as the control cohort for comparison. Propensity score matching will be utilized in order to create a control group that is similar to the exposure group with balanced baseline. Statistical analysis will be performed on the retrieve data.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The difference in UTI hospitalization rate between the two groups after biopsy
Time Frame: Within 14 days of biopsy
UTI hospitalization rate is defined symptomology requiring admission to an in-patient facility
Within 14 days of biopsy
The difference in urosepsis rates between the two groups after biopsy
Time Frame: Within 14 days of biopsy
Urosepsis is defined as sepsis of likely urological source either based on symptomology or bacteriology.
Within 14 days of biopsy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post-biopsy UTI rates between the two groups
Time Frame: At post-biopsy Day 14
The result of clean catch mid-stream urine for culture
At post-biopsy Day 14
Assessment of bacteriology and antibiotic resistant profile between the two groups
Time Frame: At post-biopsy Day 14
The bacteriology and antibiotic resistant profile are assessed by clean-catch urine culture.
At post-biopsy Day 14
