Antibiotics for older adults with delirium and abnormal urine tests
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics helps older adults in the hospital who have delirium (sudden confusion) and signs of bacteria in their urine but no clear urinary infection. It aims to see if treatment can improve confusion and avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
