3 days ciprofloxacin adequate for UTI in older women

This reasonably large study found that 3 days of ciprofloxacin (Cipro) twice daily is as effective and better tolerated than 7 days of treatment for healthy older women with urinary tract infection (UTI). Although a much larger study might find a small difference in outcomes, it is unlikely to be clinically meaningful; this study was powered to detect a modest 10% difference in outcomes. (LOE=1b)
