The second sentence in Abstract Results was modified as follow;
The probability of a UTI increased when the CBU bacterial count was ≥105/mL for all infants, both uncircumcised male infants and female infants (likelihood ratios [LRs], 4.16, 4.11, and 4.11, respectively).
Abstract Results was modified as follow.
Results: CBU results, relative to CATH-U culture results (≥104 colony-forming units [CFU]/mL) were widely variable, ranging from no growth to ≥105 CFU/mL. A CBU cutoff value of ≥105CFU/mL resulted in false-positive and false-negative rates of 18% and 24%, respectively. The probability of a UTI increased when the CBU bacterial count was ≥105/mL for all infants, both uncircumcised male infants and female infants (likelihood ratios [LRs], 4.16, 4.11, and 4.11, respectively). UTIs could not be excluded for female infants with a CBU bacterial density of 104-105 (LR, 1.40). The LRs for predicting UTIs based on a positive dipstick test and a positive urinalysis were 4.19 and 3.11, respectively.
