We searched Medline and the Cochrane Library to identify published systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials on the diagnosis and management of uncomplicated urinary tract infections, including antibiotic benefits and harms, natural history of the condition, and commonly used alternative treatments (cranberry, urinary alkalisers, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs).We included journal articles identified in the references of articles from the initial search.We searched for relevant NICE guidelines on uncomplicated urinary tract infections.We have referred to recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses but have cited individual clinical studies where there is no higher quality of evidence.
