Background/Aims/Objectives: Women with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are commonly referred to urology outpatient clinics. However, there is no clear consensus in existing guidelines as to if, or how, these should be investigated. The primary outcome was to evaluate all available literature to determine the percentage of abnormal findings in non-pregnant women with recurrent simple UTIs. Secondary outcomes were to determine the percentage that were serious, consequential or incidental findings.
