    Objective: the main objective is to analyse UTIs in a long-term care facility in Cadiz, and to design a management and prevention strategy. Methods: descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study in an elderly population institutionalized in a long-term care facility in Cadiz. The study period covers between the 1st of April 2016 and the 31st of March 2016. Those who experienced at least one UTI episode during the established period were selected. Exclusion criteria are not presented. Results: there are 119 institutionalized residents, with an average of 88 per month. 44 patients presented an infection, of which 75% were females and 25% were males. The age range varies between 71 and 102 years old. The median and mode was 84 years old. The overall incidence rate was 49% in one year. 15.90% of individuals had an indwelling caterer and 86.36% had urinary incontinence. 79.1% are acute events, 20.9% are chronic and 68.08% produce relapse. The symptoms manifested were mainly fever, asthenia, pain, stinging, hyperglycemia, sediment alterations and hematuria. The most involved germ was Escherichia coli. Conclusions: A high prevalence of UTI is observed in our residents. We propose a multidisciplinary management strategy, therapeutic approach and to avoid overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
