Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of this study is to assess the accuracy of urine reagent strips in detecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) abnormalities, specifically protein, glucose, and leukocyte esterase, in comparison to traditional laboratory measurements. The study aims to determine the reliability of urine reagent strips as a tool for semi-quantitative CSF analysis.Timepoint: Assessment will be done at 4 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes include evaluating the sensitivity and specificity of urine reagent strips for different cutoff values in detecting CSF protein, sugar, and cells. Diagnostic performance metrics, such as positive and negative predictive values, along with likelihood ratios, will be calculated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the utility of urine reagent strips in CSF examination. Additionally, the study will explore the optimal cutoff levels through the analysis of CSF protein, sugar, and neutrophil counts, using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Comparative assessments between urine reagent strip values and traditional laboratory measurements will be conducted, and an exploratory analysis will be carried out to understand the potential impact of rapid bedside assessment on patient prognosis and outcomes.Timepoint: One day | — |
