Suspected urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common driver of antibiotic prescribing and hospital admission, yet accurate diagnosis remains challenging. Young children and older adults often present without localising urinary symptoms, and current urine tests perform poorly in these groups. In non-toilet-trained children, non-invasive urine collection methods are associated with high contamination rates. In older adults, asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is common and complicates interpretation of urine culture results. As UTIs are a leading cause of sepsis in both groups, this diagnostic uncertainty contributes to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. COLLECT-UTI aims to…
