Urinary Tract Infections Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Use of Expanded Quantitative Urinary Culture (EQUC) Versus Standard Culture (SUC) Techniques in the Clinical Care of Women With Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections.
This purpose of this study is to see if expanded urine culture techniques used in the laboratory improve the clinical care of women over standard urine culture techniques.
The investigators request permission to recruit 225 women who respond "yes" to the question "do you feel you have a urinary tract infection". All participants will provide baseline urine specimens obtained by transurethral catheter (to avoid vulvo-vaginal contamination) and will complete a UTISA questionnaire to assess their current urinary tract symptoms. Participants will be randomized to the SUC treatment algorithm or the EQUC treatment algorithm. Treating physicians will receive either the SUC results or the EQUC results from the clinical laboratory and the results will be part of their clinical record. Treating physicians will follow the Loyola FPMRS treatment algorithm. Women in the study will also give consent for us to contact them using email, text messaging or phone call within 7-10 days after "treatment plan" has been implemented. The treatment plan options will include no treatment if the culture results show no pathogenic bacteria. All participants will be queried 7-10 days after their treatment plan (by email or text) "do you feel you continue to have a urinary tract infection". Women who respond "yes' will be asked to return for a second urine specimen which is our standard protocol. The second urine specimen will be analyzed using EQUC culture techniques only. Again, a treatment plan will be developed by the attending physician and the patient participant will be queried 7-10 days after the plan is implemented. ;
