Safety recommendation
It is recommended that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence should review and revise the clinical knowledge summary for ‘urinary tract infection (lower) – women’ to include ectopic pregnancy as a category under ‘alternative or serious diagnoses’.
Response:
NICE supports the recommendation to review and revise the clinical knowledge summary (CKS) for ‘urinary tract infection (lower) – women’, to include ectopic pregnancy as a category under alternative or serious diagnoses.
We have commissioned the CKS from an organisation called Clarity, and have discussed the HSIB recommendations.
Clarity has amended the topic to add ectopic pregnancy as an alternative or serious diagnosis to the differential diagnosis page in December 2019.
