Rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing for urinary tract infections in secondary care in England: a cost-effectiveness analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To perform a model-based cost-effectiveness evaluation of a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility test.

Design

A Markov model of a cohort of hospital inpatients with urinary tract infection (with inpatient numbers based on national administrative data from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2019).

Setting

Urinary tract infections (UTI) in acute National Health Service (NHS) Trusts in England, from the perspective of the NHS Healthcare system, at a national level.

Participants

A simulated cohort of approximately 280 000 non-pregnant adult inpatients within secondary care with a clinical suspicion of UTI.

Interventions

Evaluation of the implementation of a fast bacterial impedance cytometry test (BICT) compared with current practice.
