Objective: To explore the effect of applying bacterial quantitative counting combined with urine sediment leukocyte test in patients with urinary tract infection. Methods A total of 100 patients were admitted from January 2020 to December 2021. All quantitative bacterial counts, urine sediment leukocyte test, and urine bacterial culture were performed. Using the urinary bacterial culture results, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the single diagnosis and the combined diagnosis were compared as the gold standard. Results Combined diagnosis showed higher sensitivity and accuracy than a single diagnosis (P <0.05). The positive rate was compared with urine bacterial culture (P> 0.05). Conclusion In the diagnosis of urinary tract infection, Zhonglian quantitative bacterial count and leukocyte test of urine sediment have achieved remarkable results, and the disease diagnosis rate and diagnostic accuracy are significantly improved. It is recommended as the initial diagnosis plan for patients with suspected urinary tract infection.
