Study: Cystoscopy provides little to no clinical benefit for patients with recurrent UTIs

Cystoscopies for recurrent UTIs yield little clinical benefit for patients both with and without high-risk features, according to a study.
Hunter Hasley, a medical student at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine in New Jersey, presented the findings at this year’s American Urological Association (AUA) conference.
The study aimed to determine the value of cystoscopy in patients with recurrent UTIs (rUTIs) — defined as two or more infections in a 6-month period or three or more infections over a year — in the setting of uncomplicated and complicated UTIs.
