Hospitals stop using quick UTI test: will it help or harm patients?
NCT ID NCT06750666
Summary
This study aims to understand what happens when hospitals stop using a quick, paper-strip test (urine dipstick) to check for urinary tract infections (UTIs). Researchers will look at the medical records of about 480,000 adult patients in Denmark to see if this change leads to fewer antibiotic prescriptions and urine lab tests, without increasing patient harm like hospital readmissions or death. They will compare data from before and after the test was removed, and also compare to a region where the test is still used.
