Immunoactive Prophylaxis Protocol of Uncomplicated Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in a Cohort of 1104 Women Treated with Uromune^® Vaccine

Abstract

Background. A prospective, descriptive, and multicenter research that included 1104 women with three or more uncomplicated UTIs following immunoprophylaxis with Uromune® vaccine between 2011 and 2022 is presented. Methods. Objective: to analyze the efficacy of Uromune® and perform a follow-up protocol. Variables: age; bacteria; number of UTIs at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up; distribution according to age and months of the year; therapy with polybacterial vaccine or autovaccine. Efficacy was defined as 0–2 UTIs during follow-up. Patients were divided into Group 1, with 3–4 UTIs at baseline, and Group 2, with 5 or more. Results. Average age was 72. Escherichia coli represented 64.3% of infections. Overall efficacy was 91.7%, 82.3%, and 57.6% at 3, 6, and 12 months. Efficacy in patients treated with vaccines was 95.8%, 88.4%, and 56.1%, and with autovaccines it was 85.7%, 73.6%, and 60.2%. Results were statistically significant in relation to vaccines (p p ®.
