“…Although this study was done in a small study population, the results of dipstick, urine sediment and Gram staining were in accordance to the literature (3,7,(20)(21)(22). In literature FC showed a sensitivity of 73.0-97.0% and specificity of 61.8-94% to predict positive urine cultures (5,(12)(13)(14)(15), our results were in accordance (sensitivity 89.5%, specificity 81.9%).…”

“…santrifüj edilmiş idrarın gram boyamasının bakteriüri tespitinde kullanımını araştırmak üzere 1171 idrar kültürü sonucunu gram boyama sonuçlarıyla karşılaştırmışlardır. NÖD %97.7, duyarlılığı %92.3, fakat PÖD ve özgüllüğü düşük olarak saptanmıştır (24). Bu nedenle bu yöntemin idrar kültürü pozitif olan vakalarda güvenilir olmayacağı belirtilmiştir.…”

“…Only 19% of hospitals use screening criteria either to select urine for culture or to complete the culture results, with a trend towards more screening in EU countries. Such procedures include pyuria detection [11], dipstrips for nitrites and leukocyte esterase [12,13], microscopy and, more recently, automated systems for bacteriuria and pyuria detection [14–25]. The questionnaire data showed a wide range of cut‐off values to define clinically significant bacteriuria in the different laboratories and countries.…”
