The goal of this research was to assess the patient-relevant benefit of universal screening for ASB in pregnant women. The research question was divided into several subgoals.
In subgoal A, the benefit of screening for ASB was to be examined, especially the type of screening described in the German maternity guidelines, that is, screening by means of a urine sediment test as a triage test before a urine culture.
If the evidence found on subgoal A was insufficient to assess the patient-relevant benefit of screening versus no screening, in subgoal B those studies were to be examined that investigated the benefit and harm of treatment for ASB versus no treatment in pregnant women with ASB that had been detected in screening.
If subgoal A or B showed a benefit, it was planned in subgoal C to examine which test method showed the highest diagnostic or prognostic accuracy.
