Clinical Importance of Antibiotic Regimen in Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsy: A Single Center Analysis of Nine Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-Seven Cases.
BACKGROUND
To evaluate the effectiveness of an antibiotic regimen for prostate biopsy by analyzing patients who were hospitalized because of complications after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.


METHODS
We reviewed retrospectively the medical records of 10,339 patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy at our institution from May 2003 to April 2017. We excluded patients with low quality data. All patients underwent urine culture before transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy and received intravenous antibiotic agents 30-60 minutes before biopsy. Patients were either given prophylactic quinolone or cephalosporin (second or third generation). Clinicopathologic factors including patient age, antibiotic regimen, number of biopsy cores, body mass index, prostate specific antigen, prostate volume, and infection-related complications that required hospitalization were subsequently analyzed.


RESULTS
A total of 9,487 patients were included in the final analysis, of whom 33 patients (0.35%) were hospitalized because of infection-related complications. Infection-related hospitalization rates were lower in patients who received cephalosporin (0.2%) than in patients who received quinolone (1.59%). At our institution, cephalosporin has been used predominantly to prevent post-biopsy infections since February 2013. Only five patients (0.12%) developed infection-related complications of the 3,863 patient who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy since February 2013. Multivariable analysis revealed that use of second- or third-generation cephalosporin was the only independent predictor of infection-related complications.


CONCLUSION
Implementing an effective antibiotic prophylaxis regimen at our institution by using second- or third-generation cephalosporin could reduce infection-related complications after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.
