“…In contrast, Sheikh et al [18] found no significant effect of education on the incidence rate of UTIs in their study conducted in Pakistan. On the other hand, Gunes et al [19] found that UTI was significantly high among women who had less than secondary level education in their study conducted in Turkey Dimetry et al [20] found that the highest percentage of UTIs among pregnant women was among those who were illiterate 61.5%. Regarding the occupation of women, although there is no association between women's UTIs and their occupation, our study showed that the highest proportion of UTIs was found among housewives.…”

This is a cross-sectional descriptive study which was carried out in the outpatient clinics for Obstetrics and Gynecology and Urology at Kirkuk General Hospital over the period of 6 months from 1st of February-1st of September,2017. The sample of the study included 450 women who were randomly selected from the following three groups: pregnant women n=150, married women n=150, and unmarried women n=150. Each woman was interviewed using a Questionnaire containing personal information such as age, occupation, Gravidity, months of pregnancy and educational level. Data were calculated and presented as numbers and percentages Results: The study found that 58.4% of participants belonged to 21-30-year age group followed by 26% who belonged to 31-40-year age group. 48.4% of the study participants were illiterate, 27.3% had Secondary school graduates and 24.3% had Diploma or Bachelor degree. The majority of the women 70.2% were housewives. The total prevalence rate of UTI was 27.3%. The higher percentage of UTIs 43% was found among pregnant women. The majority of women with UTIs were housewives 65.9% from rural areas 72.4%, and illiterate 62.6%. Conclusion: The study concluded that the prevalence of UTIs in pregnant women was higher than that of non-pregnant and unmarried women and that Staphylococcus. Saprophyticus is the most common causative agent of disease.

“…For many years, pregnancy was seen as a predisposing factor for all types of UTI. Currently it is known that pregnancy, as isolated event, is not responsible for a higher incidence of UTI 8 . The DH recommends at least six medical visits during pregnancy.…”

“…Notwithstanding this high incidence, few data are reported by the literature about the pathophysiology and specific clinical manifestation of low back pain during pregnancy, probably because most health professionals consider it a normal and expected complaint during gestation. Low back pain etiology is multifactorial during gestation [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . Low back pain affects from the last costal arch area to gluteal folds, and may unilaterally or bilaterally impair lower limbs by pain irradiation to that region.…”

“…It may also be related to musculoskeletal system adaptations, influenced by the action of relaxin, which induces sacroiliac joint and pubic symphysis hypermotility making the pelvis unstable and contributing for low back pain. Conversely, low back pain may also be the single clinical manifestation of UTI [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . Prenatal assistance is a relevant moment to convey information to women and to look for important clinical manifestations during gestation.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:This study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy and its correlation with low back pain, as well as at analyzing prenatal assistance and orientations provided by two nurses during pregnant women assistance. METHOD: This was a transversal, exploratory and descriptive study carried out with 124 pregnant women divided in 2 comparative groups (GI and GII), who received prenatal assistance in different moments by different professionals in a Family Health Unit between June 2009 and June 2010. Data were collected through perinatal records and semi-structured questionnaire. RESULTS: Data analysis has shown that most pregnant women were aged between 20 and 29 years (67%), education has varied from no education (42%) to elementary school (33%). GI had 42% prevalence of UTI and GII 33%. As to genital hygiene habits, it has been observed that 17% of GI patients would not carry out any genital hygiene after vesical and intestinal eliminations and intercourse during pregnancy. In GII, 66% would carry out genital hygiene. Other study data have shown that 100% of GI patients have reported not having attended orientation groups during prenatal assistance versus 100% attendance of GII. As to low back pain, 85% of GI women and 84% of GII women with UTI have referred low back pain, being this association statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of UTI during gestation was 42% for GI and 33% for GII. Low back pain was the primary symptom reported by patients with confirmed UTI. There has been progressive spread of health and education knowledge during prenatal assistance provided by the GII professional with possible association with decreased incidence of UTI. This study proposes a topographic low back pain evaluation during patient's history for early UTI diagnosis and its potential association with low back pain; and suggests more emphasis on educational ac-

“…9,10 Bacterial colonization of the urinary tract tends to be more frequent in the subgroup of pregnant adolescents, with figures ranging from 3.5% in the United States to 30% in Turkey. 11,12 The chronological limits of adolescence are set by the World Health Organization (WHO) as 10 and 19 years of age. 13 In Brazil, the Child and Adolescent Statute establishes for legal purposes that the upper limit of the age range for adolescence is 18 years of age as is the case in many other nations.…”

Introduction: Significant bacteriuria is associated with clinical and obstetric complications. The existing studies on the profile of urinary pathogens in pregnant women have widely divergent results and they hardly include data on pregnant adolescents. Methods: This observational retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in the city of São Paulo with 388 pregnant adolescents and 2547 pregnant low-risk obstetric care adults who began prenatal care between January 2010 and January 2016. They were compared in terms of urine sediment, urine culture, and antibiogram results. Results: The prevalence of bacteriuria was 17.01% (66/388) among adolescents and 10.13% (258/2547) among adults. Adolescence was a risk factor for bacteriuria in pregnancy (OR=1.82, CI95%=1.35-2.44, p=0.08). The most frequently isolated pathogen in urine culture was Escherichia coli, both in adolescents (49%) and in adults (42.18%). In positive urine cultures, urinary leukocytes were present in greater numbers in adolescents than in adults (p<0.001). Resistance to quinolones in general was more frequent among adults (OR=5.86, CI95%=0.78-44.20, p<0.001), but the tendency was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Escherichia coli and the less frequent Streptococcus agalactiae were the etiologic agents most often found in the urine cultures both of adolescents and adults. Higher rates of bacteriuria and of abnormal urine sediments prevailed among adolescents.
