Table 4. Binary logistic regression analysis to determine if variables are associated with correct assessment for UTI by clinical staff

Variable	P-value	Odds ratio	95% CI	Interpretation
Staff role (GP versus nurse or AHP)	<0.001	0.46	0.30 to 0.71	GP consultation less often associated with correct UTI assessment
Setting (GP OOH or hospital versus GP in-hours)	0.130	2.15	0.79 to 5.85	NSA
Male patients	<0.001			Correct assessment of UTI more common in males and females aged ≥65 years compared with females aged <65 years
Female patients aged <65 years	0.550	0.84	0.47 to 1.49
Female patients aged ≥65 years	<0.001	0.37	0.24 to 0.58
Consultation mode: text	0.018			Text message consultations more often associated with correct UTI assessment
Consultation mode: telephone	0.037	2.70	1.06 to 6.89
Consultation mode: face to face	0.270	0.78	0.50 to 1.21
Correct urine dipstick application	<0.001	0.27	0.18 to 0.41	Correct application of urine dipstick significantly linked to correct UTI assessment
Correct MSU microbiological culture management	0.150	1.35	0.90 to 2.03	NSA
Nagelkerke R ² value for model	0.240

AHP = allied health professional. MSU = mid-stream urine. OOH = out of hours. NSA = no significant association. OOH = out of hours. UTI = urinary tract infection
