Elderly women with symptomatic lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) should be treated for 3 to 6 days with oral antibiotics. This duration provides better short-term outcomes than 1-day therapy and has long-term outcomes equivalent to 7- to 14-day therapy. (SOR B, based on a systematic review of heterogeneous RCTs.)
