Ann Clin Psython: Urinary tract infections in people with schizophrenia may affect cognitive ability.

Schizophrenia increases the risk of infection.
previous studies have found a link between urinary tract infections (UTI) and acute psychosis.
study looked at the prevalence and associated factors of UTI in a large schizophrenia patient queue, and the results were published online by Ann Clin Pycy.
estimated the UTI prevalence of baseline visits to interventional clinical antipsychotic trials (CATIE) schizophrenia trials.
then, the association between UTI and inflammatory markers, psychiatry and cognition was studied, controlling for potential confuse factors.
results showed a possible UTI prevalence of 1.2% (13 out of 1,061 participants) at baseline in CATIE trials.
UTI was a significant predictor of poor cognitive synthesis scores (β - -0.153, P - .002) and working memory (β - -0.190, P . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
between participants who were more likely to develop urinary tract infections and between participants with normal urine analysis.
, the results suggest that urinary tract infections in patients with schizophrenia may have cognitive effects.
results provide additional evidence for infectious disease combinations, which may have clinical implications for the treatment of schizophrenia patients.
