Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and often lead to unnecessary urine culture testing, increasing costs and delaying treatment. This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML) model using urinalysis and hemogram data to predict urine culture positivity and reduce unnecessary testing.
