Abstract

Introducción: La amenaza de parto pretérmino puede causar desenlaces graves, por lo que esnecesario evaluar sus determinantes. Objetivo: Determinar si la infección del tracto urinario (ITU) esun factor asociado a amenaza de parto pretérmino en gestantes adolescentes del hospital Sergio E.Bernales 2018 – 2019. Métodos: Estudio observacional analítico de casos y controles. Conformado porgestantes adolescentes internadas en el servicio de ginecobstetricia del hospital Sergio E. Bernalesen 2018-2019. Se calcularon los OR crudos y ajustados para los posibles factores confusores en base amodelos de regresión logística. Considerándose el valor p<0,05 como significativo. Resultados: Losresultados del modelo de regresión logística ajustado mostraron que la amenaza de parto se asociósignificativamente con la ITU (OR=2,68, IC 95%: 1,3–5,3) y con la presencia de ruptura prematura demembranas (OR=15, IC 95%: 5,9–37,9). Conclusión: La infección del tracto urinario es un factor asociadoa la amenaza de parto pretérmino en gestantes adolescentes.

English Abstract

Introduction: The threatened preterm delivery can cause serious outcomes, so it is necessary toevaluate its causes. Objective: to determine if urinary tract infection (UTI) is a factor associated withthe 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 admittedto the gynecology and obstetrics service of the Hospital Sergio E. Bernales 2018 – 2019. Crude andadjusted 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 ofthe adjusted logistic regression model were that the threatened preterm delivery had a significantassociation 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.
