However, the criteria for a diagnosis of UTI are often not stated. We evaluated the literature on SB patients for the criteria that authors use to define parameters in reporting UTI outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Embase and Medline were queried with the medical subject heading terms \u201cspinal dysraphism,\u201d \u201cmyelomeningocele,\u201d \u201cinfection,\u201d and \u201curinary tract infection.\u201d A second search with the exploded term \u201cspina bifida\u201d and \u201curinary tract infection\u201d was performed.

Forty-five of 124 (36.3%) studies reporting UTI as an outcome provided a definition of UTI. Of 124 studies, 28 (22.6%) were published in pediatric journals and 69 (55.6%) in urology journals.
