Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Dianne Osiemo"
- Dianne Osiemo's research focuses on optimizing clinical practices related to the management of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) through the implementation of urine culture algorithms in electronic medical records.
- In a 2021 study, Osiemo evaluated the impact of revised urine culture ordering procedures on the treatment of ASB at an academic medical center, highlighting the relationship between urine culture practices and the incidence of inappropriate treatments.
- The findings suggest that limiting urine cultures in immunocompetent patients without pyuria has led to improved adherence to practice guidelines and a reduction in unnecessary treatment of ASB.
