De-implementation of Urinary Dipsticks

In August 2023 / February 2024, urinary dipsticks were de-implemented in hospitals across the North Denmark Region. Using registry-based data, the investigators aim to evaluate the clinical impact of this decision.

OTHER

Usual practice with no intervention

In hospitals within the Central Denmark Region and in the primary care sector, urinary dipsticks have not been de-implemented and remain in use. Registry-based data from these settings will serve as a control.
