Restricted Reporting for Positive Urine Cultures Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Restricted Reporting for Bacteriuria and Urinary Tract Infection. Completed, enrolled 110 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is a condition in which bacteria are detected in urine culture without urinary symptoms. The inappropriate use of antibiotic treatment for AB selects bacterial flora to express resistance mutations. Reducing inappropriate antibiotic use for AB is difficult, since the microbiology laboratory cannot distinguish patients with AB. The investigators study will use a restricted laboratory report requesting the physician to call the laboratory for culture results. The restricted report may reduce the rate of inappropriate treatment of AB.
