Abstract
We determined the interobserver variability in the assessment of clinical criteria for urinary tract infection (UTI) in nursing home residents. Pairs of nursing home staff caring for 30 residents were interviewed at the time UTI was suspected. At least one measure from each of 7 clinical criteria categories was reliably assessed by nursing home staff members.Entities:
