None of the studies included were powered to show a significant change in the incidence of urinary tract infection following UDS in female patients receiving antibiotic prophylaxis versus no prophylaxis. CONCLUSIONS: Similar to the 2012 Cochrane review on this subject, this systematic review demonstrated that antibiotic prophylaxis may decrease bacteriuria in women post UDS; however, further research is required to assess its effect on urinary tract infections in this context. In this study, we aim to update the 2012 Cochrane review and present the first female-specific systematic review with the primary objective of evaluating the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis compared with placebo or no treatment for prevention of UTI in females over the age of 18 years undergoing UDS. ./cache/cord-279718-r21k0gku.txt ./txt/cord-279718-r21k0gku.txt
