Yes.

When you call query() you get a result set that you should 
iterate with next() functions. You looking for row()
that would basically call query() and then call next()

So rewrite it as:

   int total = getUsersCount.row().get<int>("total");

See: http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/sql/cppdb/classcppdb_1_1statement.html#7fd1167898cef7a5592bfd00453ab2f7


By the way:  session::prepare() by default does what create_prepared_statement() does

And the code above can be rewritten nicely as

  sqliteDb <<     
    "SELECT count(*) "
    "FROM users " << cppdb::row 
    >> total;
