ABSTRACT
Introduction: Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) can increase the risk of obstetric complications during pregnancy. Moreover, the treatment itself represents a risk for both the mother and the fetus. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of UTI in pregnancy in a primary care health center and to assess whether there are risk factors that increase this prevalence within the same population. Material and method: Retrospective and cross-sectional study, review of 75 records of the prenatal consultation, patients with a minimum of 25 weeks of gestation, sample calculated to test the hypothesis of a proportion, simple probabilistic sampling, demographic analysis was carried out, the distribution of patients with UTI with relation to sociodemographic variables and diagnosis of vaginosis during pregnancy. The prevalence ratio (PR) was calculated. Results: Prevalence of UTI in pregnancy (45.33%), diagnosis of UTI was made predominantly by combining clinical criteria with results of the General Urine Examination or with this study in isolation. The most used treatment was nitrofurantoin (44.12%). Higher prevalence of UTI in the age group 30-35 years (PR 1.68 [95% CI 1.02-2.77]), high school education (PR 1.76 [1.11-2.79]), with diagnosis of vaginosis in the same pregnancy (PR 1.6 [1.001-2.58]). Conclusions: High prevalence of UTI in pregnancy, association between the development of UTI and belonging to the age group of 30-35 years, high school education, suffering from vaginosis during the same pregnancy.REFERENCES
