Removing routine urine tests to improve UTI diagnosis
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether stopping routine urine dipstick tests helps diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) more accurately in hospitals. If you've been admitted through an emergency room since 2019, your data may help improve how UTIs are diagnosed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years old or older
- You must have been admitted to the hospital through an emergency room (ER)
- Your admission must have occurred in 2019 or later
- You must not have been directly admitted to an inpatient unit without visiting the ER
