Key Points

Diagnostic heterogeneity significantly impacts urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnosis in resource-limited settings, complicating effective treatment.
Comparison reveals only 60% agreement between clinical practices and Delphi consensus criteria in three hospitals.
The assessment aligns with Delphi method principles to highlight areas for improvement in diagnosis.
This observation suggests urgent need for standardized guidelines to enhance the accuracy of UTI diagnosis in limited-resource environments.
