【 摘 要 】

Untreated urinary tract infection (UTI) in pregnancy would cause serious complications for the mother and fetus. The purpose of this study was to assess the associated risk factors of UTI in pregnancy to prevent and control this health problem. Clean-catch midstream urine specimens were collected from 36 pregnant women using sterile containers and were being cultured using standard microbiology test. Patients' data collected by questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 21. The incidence of UTI is 38.9%, Escherichia coli (35.7%) was the commonest bacterial isolate, followed by Staphylococcus aureus (28.6%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (28.6%), and Klebsiella pneumonia (7.1%). Bivariate analysis of associated risk factors of UTI revealed that maternal age group 26-30 years (p = 0.005, PR = 4.098, 95% CI = 1.369, 12.264), gestational age in second trimester (p = 0.009, PR = 4.286, 95% CI = 1.120, 16.405), and sexual activity at least once in the past two weeks (p = 0.012, PR = 3.125, 95% CI = 1.202, 8.122) showed statistical significant association with UTI. On the contrary, there was no significant association among educational level, socioeconomic level, and parity with UTI during pregnancy.
