Dataset for a cross-sectional study on the prevalence of urinary tract infections and antibiogram of uropathogens isolated from under-five children attending Bagamoyo district hospital in Tanzania - dataset

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common condition in children that recurs frequently. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of UTIs among under-five children attending Bagamoyo District hospital and its association with nutritional status. This data was from a cross-sectional study that enrolled 214 under-five children attending Bagamoyo district hospital in Tanzania. Midstream urine was collected in sterile conditions and bottles. Samples were transported to the laboratory at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences for analysis, isolation and bacteria identification. Bacteria were isolated using CLED agar, followed by identification using Gram staining, single iron agar test, sulfide-indole motility test, catalase and oxidase tests. A susceptibility test was done using the disc diffusion method. Anthropometric measurements were employed to assess malnutrition status and body mass index determined using each child's weight and height. Presented are underlining data (in Microsoft Excel format) containing the data from the questionnaire and laboratory analyses resulting from bacteria identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The second file is the questionnaire with the questions that were used in to capture the demographic information. The data marked 'NA' implies that for these patients who were negative for urinary tract infection, the data was not available for the type of bacteria and other tests.

尿路感染（Urinary tract infection, UTI）是儿童常见的复发性疾病。本研究旨在明确坦桑尼亚巴加莫约地区医院就诊的5岁以下儿童的尿路感染患病率，并分析其与营养状况的关联。本数据集来自一项横断面研究，共纳入坦桑尼亚巴加莫约地区医院的214名5岁以下儿童。研究人员采用无菌操作及无菌容器采集受试者的中段尿样本，随后将样本转运至穆希比利卫生与联合科学大学实验室，开展分析、细菌分离与菌种鉴定工作。细菌分离采用CLED琼脂，后续通过革兰氏染色、单铁琼脂试验、硫化物-吲哚动力试验、触酶试验及氧化酶试验完成菌种鉴定。药敏试验采用纸片扩散法。本研究通过人体测量学指标评估儿童营养不良状况，并基于每名儿童的体重与身高计算其体重指数（BMI）。本次公开的数据包含两份文件：第一份为Microsoft Excel格式的基础数据集，涵盖问卷调查数据以及细菌鉴定、抗菌药物敏感性试验的实验室分析结果；第二份为用于收集人口统计学信息的调查问卷。数据中标记为“NA”的条目代表：对于尿路感染检测呈阴性的患者，其细菌类型及其他相关检测的数据缺失。
