Combined urinalysis parameters (pyuria or nitrite) performed better than pyuria alone for ruling out UTI. However, performance of all urinalysis parameters was poor in older women.Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of AmericaPerformance of Urinalysis Parameters in Predicting Urinary Tract Infection: Does One Size Fit All?PMC114262575U54CK000616-02K12DK100024U54 CK000616K12 DK100024Hasan AFrancis AAhmadi SJohnson RSchmader KERosshandler YMirza FTang HAdvani SDTurner NADenniss JNorth RPardue SRao MAnderson DJfalsePerformance of Urinalysis Parameters in Predicting Urinary Tract Infection: Does One Size Fit All?In a multihospital cohort study of 3392 patients, positive urinalysis parameters had poor positive predictive value for diagnosing urinary tract infection (UTI).
