In-Depth Analysis of Diet Diary and Urine pH Measurements Improved Food Diet Reporting in Postmenopausal Women with RUTI.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We proceeded with an in-depth review of diet diaries for nutrient analysis from a cohort of women suffering from uncomplicated recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI) to validate the accuracy of our current food diet record (FDR) form and evaluate possible domains of improvement.

Materials and methods

As part of an IRB-approved study, this previously published cohort of NHANES-comparable women was analyzed for consistency of the nutrient intake over 3 days, the influence of the time between meals and urine pH, the effect of nutrient intake over interval time between meals, and seasonal and before/during the COVID-19 pandemic changes. Intrarater reliability for nutrient analysis and intrapatient variability for urine pH were computed to test for consistency.
