Please note:
The pretest probability of UTI for your patient is relatively LOW
(i.e., less than 2%).
Many clinicians would not obtain a urine sample in such a patient.
The predicted probability of UTI for your patient is between 2% and 5%.
Please refer to your patient's predicted probability and consider testing based on individual factors and
shared decision making with the family. Please note that, at a population level, a cutoff of
≥2% detects ~95% of UTIs, and cutoffs of ≥3% and ≥4% detect ~90% of UTIs.
The predicted probability of UTI for your patient is ≥ 5%. Strongly consider obtaining urine sample to test for UTI.
