Paraganglioma is derived from the paraganglia tissue in the neck, along the sympathetic trunk, and in the pelvis. Paraganglioma has malignant potential and can metastasize to remote organs such as the liver, lungs, and bones. Most metachronous metastases occur within several years after the initial diagnosis of paraganglioma.

- The study aimed to implement evidence-based reflex criteria for urinalysis (UA) to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use by evaluating the effectiveness of these criteria in predicting positive urine cultures.
- It analyzed 4,130 urine samples collected between March and May 2020, revealing that 24.6% of samples tested positive, which led to further cultures, with 91% of those cultures yielding positive results.
- Statistical results showed significant associations between certain UA parameters (like high white blood cell counts and nitrite presence) and positive urine culture outcomes, supporting the effectiveness of the new UA reflex criteria.
