Low diagnostic yield of repeat urine cultures in hospitalized patients at a tertiary center in Northern California, 2023-2024

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We analyzed the diagnostic yield of repeat urine cultures in a retrospective study of adult inpatients. Most urine cultures repeated at less than 6 days provided redundant information. This was true whether the index culture was positive or negative, and whether the threshold for positivity was 10,000 or 100,000 CFU/mL.
