Abstract

We evaluated 800 hospitalized patients with a complicated urinary tract infection in whom on the day of start of antibiotic treatment both a blood- and a urine culture were obtained. In 70% of patients urine cultures were positive and blood cultures in 29%. In 7% of patients uropathogens caused bacteraemia with a pathogen that was not isolated from urine. Receiving antibiotic therapy at the moment of hospitalization was the only factor independently associated with discordant culture results (OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.18-3.61). For those receiving antibiotics at the moment of hospitalization blood cultures have additional diagnostic value over urine cultures. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 August 2021.
All research outputs
#7,047,954
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Microbiology and Infection
#1,981
of 4,641 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#76,673
of 320,224 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Microbiology and Infection
#15
of 76 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,641 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,224 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 76 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
