In a multihospital cohort study of 3392 patients, positive urinalysis parameters had poor positive predictive value for diagnosing urinary tract infection (UTI). 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.
在一项针对 3392 名患者的多医院队列研究中,尿液分析参数阳性对诊断尿路感染(UTI)的阳性预测值较差。联合尿液分析参数(脓尿或亚硝酸盐)比单纯脓尿更能排除 UTI。然而,所有尿液分析参数在老年女性中的表现均较差。
