Effect of Cranberry Capsules on Bacteriuria Plus Pyuria Among Older Women in Nursing Homes
Question Do cranberry capsules with sufficient proanthocyanidin content affect the presence of bacteriuria plus pyuria in older women living in nursing homes?
Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 185 women nursing home residents, after adjusting for missing data and covariates, there was no statistically significant difference in presence of bacteriuria plus pyuria between the treatment (29.1%) and control (29.0%) groups over 1 year.
Meaning Among older women living in nursing homes, cranberry capsules, compared with placebo, did not have a significant effect on the presence of bacteriuria plus pyuria over 1 year.
