- Neonatal Medicine
- Infectious Diseases
Context:
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common during pregnancy.
- Asymptomatic bacteriuria and acute pyelonephritis are significant UTI subtypes in pregnancy.
- Neonatal outcomes following maternal UTIs require thorough analysis.
Purpose:
- To determine the frequency of UTIs in pregnant patients within a specific practice.
- To describe pregnancy complications associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria and acute pyelonephritis.
- To analyze the postnatal period and identify complications in neonates born to mothers with UTIs during pregnancy.
Summary:
- The study reports the incidence of UTIs in pregnant women.
- Complications such as asymptomatic bacteriuria and acute pyelonephritis were detailed.
- Neonatal outcomes, including intrauterine hypotrophy and infectious complications, were assessed postnatally.
Impact:
