Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical and economic outcomes in patients with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) due to sensitive Enterobacterales (CSE) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) in a referral center in Lima, Peru. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 200 patients with cUTI admitted to the emergency department. An analysis was performed to determine the risk factors associated with UTI mortality using a generalized linear model in Stata 18.0. Results: The cohort comprised of 21 patients with cUTI due to CRE and 179 patients with cUTI due to CSE. The 30-day mortality rates in the CRE and CSE groups were 38.1% and 8.7 %, respectively (p =0.004). Multivariate analysis revealed that an increased Charlson comorbidity index (IRR 1.2; 95% CI, 1.07-1.35; p<0.05), septic shock on admission (IRR 4.79, 95% CI, 2.30-9.96; p<0.001), and CRE infection (IRR 3.25, 95% CI, 1.44-7.33; p=0.005) were significant risk factors for cUTI mortality. Additionally, the median hospital stay costs were significantly higher in the CRE group than in the CSE group ($ 4691.6 vs $ 2920.9; p =0.032). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that patients with cUTI caused by CRE have significantly higher 30-day mortality rates and hospital stay costs than those with cUTI caused by CSE. Therefore, it is imperative to reinforce appropriate prevention and management strategies to enhance clinical outcomes and mitigate the economic burden associated with cUTI complicated by CRE
