Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Identify of bacteria, genes and proteins that are highly predictive of UTI development | Nine months | To identify which bacteria, genes and proteins will be highly predictive of UTI development in geriatric trauma patients. We hypothesize that the combination of 16S rDNA and metaproteomics will identify the most informative biosignatures (species/genes/proteins) discerning UTI from asymptomatic bacteriuria. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Biomarker candidates for UTIs recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment. | Nine months |
| Morbidity | 9 months |
| Mortality | 9 months |
