“…Moreover, PMUC has been shown to be an unreliable method of predicting SC results [ [39] , [40] , [41] ]. Bacteremia develops within 6 h postoperatively, whereas results of intraoperative cultures are usually available after 48 h. Thus, waiting time for obtaining the results of SC and RPUC remains a major limitation in routinely using these tests as predictors of SIRS/urosepsis [ 42 , 43 ]. However, in patients in which fever persists for 48 h, SC results can be used to direct treatment.…”
