Urinary Tract Infections-UTI Clinical Trial
Official title:
Conventional and Molecular Diagnostic Method for Patients With Suspected Urinary Tract Infections: Clinical, Economic, and Quality of Life Outcomes
In this protocol, the investigators are examining the use of a novel pathogen testing technology and method of identification of antibiotic susceptibility against the conventional C & S testing for patients with both complicated and uncomplicated UTIs. The investigators will examine the two modes in terms of objective patient related outcomes, i.e. 1) diagnostic accuracy and degree of detail of final analysis; 2) time to resolution of symptoms; 3) quality of life as defined by particularly symptomology and "bothersomeness" of the symptoms; and 4) overall cost.
