Abstract

BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) have been one of the most common bacterial infections in clinical practice worldwide. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) based algorithms have been increasingly applied in UTI case identification and prediction. However, the overall performance of AI/ML algorithms in identifying and predicting UTI has not been evaluated. The purpose of this paper is to quantitatively evaluate the application value of AI/ML in identifying and predicting UTI cases.
