PURPOSE: Fosfomycin has been used more frequently in managing uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to decreased compliance and increased multidrug-resistant bacteria. The aim of this network meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of Fosfomycin compared to Nitrofurantoin, Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), and Ciprofloxacin in terms of clinical and microbiological cure alongside with other measurements.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). We included randomized control trials (RCTs) with uncomplicated UTI patients who received Fosfomycin, Nitrofurantoin, TMP-SMX, or Ciprofloxacin and reported the clinical or microbiological cure. We used Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool to assess the included studies' quality. R-software was used for all statistical analysis. We ranked all antibiotics using the netrank function which yielded P scores. Frequentist network meta-analysis was used to assess the efficacy of all outcomes.

RESULTS: We included 13 RCTs with a total number of 3856 patients that showed Fosfomycin ranked the highest among the other antibiotics with respect to clinical cure (P-score = 0.99) and microbiological cure (P-score = 0.99) while Ciprofloxacin ranked the lowest (P-score = 0.11 and 0.02, respectively). Moreover, Ciprofloxacin yielded the highest relapse rate (P-score = 1), whereas TMP-SMX had the lowest relapse rate (P-score = 0.07). As for the adverse events, Ciprofloxacin demonstrated the highest adverse events as opposed to Fosfomycin (P-score = 0.98 and 0.05, respectively).

CONCLUSION: The network meta-analysis demonstrated that Fosfomycin is the most effective antibiotic in treating uncomplicated UTIs with respect to clinical cure, microbiological cure, and adverse events profile.
