Abstract:
:The urinalysis has long been considered an important screening test for hospitalized children. The value of the admission urinalyses, required by hospital bylaws, was assessed for detecting urinary tract disease in children admitted to a day-care unit or impatient medical or surgical services during the months of June and November 1987. Of 2695 admissions, urinalyses were considered essential for diagnosis or therapy in 543 patients (excluded from analysis). In the remaining 2152 patients eligible for screening, urinalyses were obtained in 145 (30%) of day-care unit and 587 (35%) of inpatient admissions. The results of 149 (20%) of screening urinalyses were abnormal (23% abnormal in inpatient and 10% abnormal in day-care unit admissions). The numbers of urinalyses with abnormal results were similar in surgical and medical admissions and between the months of June and November. Pyuria (90 patients) and hematuria (66 patients) were the most common abnormalities in initial urinalyses. Follow-up urinalyses and other diagnostic studies were obtained in 38% of patients with abnormal admission urinalysis results. In subsequent urinalyses, 58% showed persistent abnormalities; however, most subsequent abnormal results were not pursued with additional tests. Urinary tract infections were diagnosed in 6 patients. No other additional diagnoses were determined. The cost of initial urinalyses and subsequent diagnostic studies in these 732 patients during the 2 months was $23,465. The cost per diagnosis of urinary infection was $3911. It is concluded that when hospital bylaws require routine urinalyses at the time of admission, this requirement is frequently ignored and, in addition, abnormal results are often unappreciated or not pursued.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
