在 101 名疑似尿路感染 (UTI) 的疗养院居民中，与 UTI 的实验室证据（尿液分析大于 10 个白细胞/mm(3)，尿培养大于 100,000 个菌落形成单位/mL）相比，我们确定白细胞酯酶和亚硝酸盐试纸检测的阴性预测值为 100%（95% 置信区间，74%-100%）。疗养院试纸测试有效排除了尿路感染的可能性。
Among 101 nursing home residents with suspected urinary tract infection (UTI), we determined the negative predictive value of dipstick testing for leukocyte esterase and nitrite to be 100% (95% confidence interval, 74%-100%), compared with laboratory evidence of UTI (greater than 10 white blood cells/ mm(3) on urinalysis and greater than 100,000 colony forming units/ mL on urine culture). Nursing home dipstick testing effectively excluded the possibility of UTI.
