【 摘 要 】

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections occurring across all age groups. UTIs are a well-known cause of acute morbidity and chronic medical conditions. The current diagnostic methods of UTIs remain sub-optimal. The development of better diagnostic tools for UTIs is essential for improving treatment and reducing morbidity. Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as the science of computers where they have the ability to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The objective of this study was to analyze current views regarding attempts to apply artificial intelligence techniques in everyday practice, as well as find promising methods to diagnose urinary tract infections in the most efficient ways. We included six research works comparing various AI models to predict UTI. The literature examined here confirms the relevance of AI models in UTI diagnosis, while it has not yet been established which model is preferable for infection prediction in adult patients. AI models achieve a high performance in retrospective studies, but further studies are required.
