Outcomes of patients with bacteriuria/pyuria of clinically undetermined significance (BPCUS) treated with antibiotics in 23 community hospital emergency departments

The optimal management of bacteriuria/pyuria of clinically undetermined significance (BPCUS) is unknown. Among 220 emergency department patients prescribed antibiotics for BPCUS, we found frequent readmissions, which were mitigated by outpatient follow-up visits. Observation and follow-up for an unk...
