— MicUTIOfficial title:
Dipsticks and Point-of-care Microscopy to Reduce Antibiotic Use in Women With Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections: a Cluster-randomized Controlled Pilot Trial
With the aim to pilot a full-scaled trial to reduce unnecessary antibiotics in women with suspected uncomplicated urinary tract infections, twenty general practices in Bavaria, Germany, will be randomized to deliver patient management based on phase-contrast microscopy and urinary dipsticks or to usual care. Primary endpoints are recruitment and retention rates.
