True or False: Complicated UTIs typically require hospital admission for IV antibiotics.

Complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) are often more severe than uncomplicated ones and can occur in patients with predisposing factors such as anatomical abnormalities, kidney stones, or the presence of indwelling catheters. Such infections can lead to more serious complications, including pyelonephritis or bacteremia, hence they typically necessitate a higher level of care.

In many cases, particularly when patients exhibit severe symptoms such as high fever, significant pain, or signs of sepsis, intravenous antibiotics are needed to ensure rapid and effective treatment. Hospital admission allows for close monitoring, proper hydration, and the ability to administer antibiotics that may be more effective against resistant organisms or in cases where oral medications cannot be effectively absorbed or tolerated.

Thus, the statement regarding the requirement for hospital admission for IV antibiotics in cases of complicated UTIs is accurate, given the potential severity and complexity of the condition.
