Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of COBIO XS automated urine sediment analyzer for screening urinary tract infection(UTI) .Methods Midstream urine samples were collected from 182 patients with suspected UTI .White blood cell counts(WBC) and bacteria counts(BACT) were determined by COBIO XS automated urine sediment analyzer .By comparing with quantitative urine culture as the golden standard of UTI .The area under the ROC curve(AUC) was constructed to evaluate the dis‐criminative power of variables to predict UTI .Results The positive rate of urine culture was 30 .8% .The isolated rate of Esche‐richia coli ,Enterococcus species and proteus species were 53 .6% ,16 .1% ,10 .7% ,respectively .ROC curve analysis showed that AUC was 0 .808(95% CI 0 .710-0 .867) for WBC and 0 .899(95% CI 0 .797 -0 .923) for BACT .The best cutoff value for WBC was 50/μL ,sensitivity was 89 .0% ,specificity was 83 .8% ,positive predictive value was 86 .3% and negative predictive value was 93 .7% .The best cutoff value for BACT was 110/μL ,sensitivity was 82 .5% ,specificity was 85 .6% ,positive predictive value was 78 .5% and negative predictive value was 88 .0% .Conclusion COBIO XS analyzer is adopted to conduct rapid and reliable a screen‐ing tool for UTI .
