The association of the diagnostic work‐up with the appropriateness of the final treatment decision.

	Unadjusted (n = 151)			Adjusted (n = 144)
Model	OR	95% CI	P	OR	95% CI	P

CI, confidence interval; OR, estimated odds ratio.

Odds Ratios (OR) for making an appropriate final treatment decision (DTT) when performing microscopy or culture jointly estimated from a multivariable logistic regression model with practice as a random effect. The ORs are estimated unadjusted and adjusted for days with clinical signs, pollakiuria, increased temperature, incontinence, and licking of outer genitalia.
