RESULTS: After 178,914 person-days follow-up, 228 participants had 399 episodes UTI a urinalysis and culture performed; 147 (36.8%) pyuria. were dysuria (relative risk (RR)=1.58, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.10–2.03), change character (RR=1.42, CI=1.07-1.79), mental status (RR=1.38, CI=1.03–1.74). CONCLUSION: Dysuria, urine, significantly Absence these identified at low having (25.5%), whereas presence one or both other high (63.2%). Diagnostic uncertainty still remains vast majority who meet only feature. If validated future cohorts, may serve as an evidence-based definition assist management decisions.
