The objective of this observational study was to quantify the incidence of urinary tract
infections (UTI) among diabetes patients and compare this risk to patients without diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes patients and a matched sample of patients without diabetes were identified
from GPRD. Patients were followed for 1-year from their study index date until the first record
of a UTI or a censored event. The incidence of UTI was 46.9 per 1000 person-years (95%
confidence interval (CI) 45.8–48.1) among diabetes patients and 29.9 (95% CI 28.9–30.8) …
