February, 2024 PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach
The practice problem in question is adult women 18-65 years with uncomplicated urinary
tract infection (UTIs). Concerns arise in relation to the relapse of infection and microbiome disruption due to standard antibiotic treatment (Butler et al., 2022). As such, the intervention proposed to address this includes probiotics administration as an adjunct therapy. The comparison aims to determine if the administration of probiotics instead of a placebo supplement
causes effective symptom resolution, low recurrence rates and better effect on gut microbiota (Zare et al., 2022). This study will be conducted over the course of a 12-month treatment and follow-up period that aims to provide detailed information regarding future benefits for uncomplicated UTIs treated with probiotics in this kind of patient cohort.
Population (P): Women aged between18 to65 years with uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Intervention (I): Probiotics used as a treatment measure. Comparison (C): Comparison with a placebo supplement. Outcome (O): Efficacy of the treatment in terms of symptomatic resolution, decrease in rates for recurrence, and patient-reported outcomes. Time (T): During a 12-month treatment and follow up.
Putting it all together: For adult women aged 18-65 years with uncomplicated UTIs, is probiotic administration superior to placebo supplementation for symptomatic relief; decreased recurrence rates and better patient-reported outcomes after a course of 12 months treatment plus follow up?
A PICO(T) approach is likely to elucidate the search for information concerning UTI in adult women. The presence of a structured framework contributes to an accurate formulation of the elements relevant for this study that can direct researchers to develop clear and specific research questions. The PICO(T) question components-patient population (P), intervention (I),
