[Urinary tract infections in newborns: sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of urinary screening with the reagent strip test].
Pediatr Med Chir. 1993 Jan-Feb; 15(1):29-31.PM

Abstract

Important considerations in evaluating newborn urine examinations by dip-stick method are: ease of performance, the volume of the specimen required for test, the time required to perform the test and the cost. In considering the dip-stick test for the early diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infections (U.T.I.), it has never been tested with later follow-up to evaluate its sensitivity and specificity, also in regard to reduce the risk of further complications for urinary tract and kidney.
