A correct approach to recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) is an important pillar of antimicrobial stewardship. We aim define Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for predicting the clinical efficacy empiric treatment in women with rUTIs.We extracted and microbiological data from 1043 women. trained ANN on 725 patients validated it 318.The showed a sensitivity 87.8% specificity 97.3% empirical therapy.
