Abstract

Paradigm shifts in patient care all too frequently result in recommendations for more costly medications, procedures, or devices. Clinicians rarely encounter newer therapies that improve outcomes at a lower cost—such as the “rediscovery” of metformin therapy for type 2 diabetes.1 The article by McKinnell et al2 in this issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, coupled with 2011 practice guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and European Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases,3 provides important and welcome changes in recommendations for cost-effective management of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection (UTI) in women.
