pyuria cutoff (in elderly♀️)"At a cutoff of 264 leuk/µL, sensitivity and specificity of microscopy were 88% (positive and negative likelihood ratio: 7.2 and 0.1, respectively). The commonly used cutoff of 10 leuk/µL had a poor specificity (36%) and a sensitivity of 100%."

@cjcrnich.bsky.social 😊 when you & I were on #Breakpoints we were asked whether there was a pyuria cutoff to help differentiate btw infection & colonization
Here may be one (in elderly ♀️ at least) #IDSky
