Detailed Description
A comprehensive systematic MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane search was performed for English language reports published before December 2018 using the term "recurrent urinary tract infections and d mannose." We searched Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials since January 2010 to December 2018. Eligible studies did not include non-oral therapy, local (vaginal) treatment in women with RUTIs.
Study eligibility criteria- We identified eligible original articles. The heterogeneity of the available studies, their different rationale and aim, the assumption of d mannose for prophylaxis or treatment of recurrent UTIs need to be taken into account.
