Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common types of infections in older persons. The general aim of this study is to improve the epidemiological knowledge and develop a better diagnostic algorithm for urinary tract infections in older institutionalized individuals in order to reduce excessive prescribing of antibiotics and prevent antimicrobial resistance.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Diagnostic tests

For any patient with a suspected urinary tract infection during the course of the study a basic questionnaire will have to be filled out and diagnostic tests (urine sample for culture, dipstick assay for the detection of nitrites and leukocyte- esterase and a POC CRP test) will have to be perform.
