Recently, the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) released the first guidelines on management and treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs). The evidence-based guidelines include practical advice for clinicians who manage patients with cUTIs in outpatient settings. For example, clinicians can view the UTI and cUTI classifications intended to guide treatment (not diagnosis) as well as recommendations on the selection and duration of definitive antibiotic therapy for cUTI.
UTI is common: IDSA notes that women have a 53% lifetime risk of experiencing UTI, and men have a 16% lifetime risk. According to exclusive JUCM chart research, painful urination and frequent urination were 2 of the top chief complaints presenting to urgent care in 2025, and 8.5% of all visits included a genitourinary diagnosis code.
