Abstract
ABANTO-BOJORQUEZ, Dan and SOTO-TARAZONA, Alonso. Urinary tract infection and threatened preterm delivery in teenage pregnancies of a peruvian hospital. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.3, pp.419-424. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v20i3.3056.
Introduction:
The threatened preterm delivery can cause serious outcomes, so it is necessary to evaluate its causes.
Objective:
to determine if urinary tract infection (UTI) is a factor associated with the threatened preterm delivery in pregnant teenages at the Hospital Sergio E. Bernales 2018 - 2019.
Methods:
Observational analytical case-control study. The study included pregnant teenages admitted to the gynecology and obstetrics service of the Hospital Sergio E. Bernales 2018 - 2019. Crude and adjusted ORs were calculated for possible confounding factors based on logistic regression models. Considering the p <0.05 value as significant.
Results:
The median age was 18 years. The results of the adjusted logistic regression model were that the threatened preterm delivery had a significant association with UTI (OR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.3-5.3) and RPM (OR = 15, 95 CI. %: 5.9-37.9).
Conclusion:
Urinary tract infection is a factor associated with the threatened preterm delivery in pregnant teens.
