Eight patients who had ingested Clinitest tablets were seen in one hospital over four years. Nineteen reported cases were also reviewed. Clinitest ingestion seems to be more common than was thought. Gastric lesions are common, though the frequency of serious sequelae has been overestimated in reports. Some features of Clinitest ingestion differ from those produced by ingesting other alkalis. These include a higher frequency of adult and accidental ingestion, a lower prevalence of pharyngeal lesions, and oesophageal strictures that tend to be more proximal, shorter, and earlier in onset. The incidence of accidental ingestion by adults would probably be reduced if other methods of testing urine were used in patients who are likely to misunderstand instructions or mistake the tablets for others and if Clinitest tablets could be made in a distinctive size and shape.
在四年时间里，一家医院收治了8名误服尿糖试纸片的患者。同时还回顾了19例已报告的病例。尿糖试纸片的误服似乎比人们想象的更为常见。胃部病变很常见，不过报告中对严重后遗症的发生率估计过高。误服尿糖试纸片的一些特征与误服其他碱性物质所产生的特征有所不同。这些特征包括成人误服和意外误服的发生率较高、咽部病变的发生率较低，以及食管狭窄往往更靠近近端、更短且发病更早。如果对可能误解说明或误将试纸片当作其他物品的患者采用其他尿液检测方法，并且将尿糖试纸片制成独特的尺寸和形状，成人意外误服的发生率可能会降低。
