  1. A Prospective Surveillance Program to Track Complication Rates Post TRUS and Biopsy in the Urology Service atTallaght Hospital. Liz Mcevoy IAUN Jan 2014

  2. Aims • Identify causes and cost of admission post TRUS and biopsy. • Methods - 587 patients had TRUS and Biopsy between January 2012 – December 2012. • Results – 3 patients presented to GP - 19 patients - 5 hospitals. - 11 patients to Tallaght = 47 days • Cost to Tallaght Hospital € 37,882 • Cost per patient = € 3,156.

  3. Results Overall 2.3 % (14) - suspected infection • Possible infection - 0.68% (4) • Probable infection - 0.34% (2) • Definite infection – 1.3% (8) • UTI - Escherichia coli, main cause of UTI (n=7), 1 ESBL producer. • 2 post-biopsy bacteraemia. • High Quinolone resistance (Nalidixic acid 100%). Ciprofloxacin 70%) • Peak time for presentation – 4 days • Rate of urinary retention was 1.5%. • Peak time for presentation – within 1 day. • Increased cost to hospitals expected.

  4. Conclusion • Definite rates of infection low. • The minimal date set required to audit biopsy related infections includes; temperature, pulse, BP, WCC, CRP, urine and blood cultures. • Greater communication and ease of access between hospitals/GP to obtain this data. • Greater resistance to antibiotic prophylaxis • Retention urine higher than expected. • Patients with large prostate should have: Up-to- date International Prostate Symptoms Score.(IPPS). High IPPS/ large prostate - start alpha-blocker. • Cost of complications are high – from financial and bed management perspective.
