Распространенность и факторы риска развития инфекции мочевыводящих путей у женщин репродуктивного возраста

Abstract

to study the prevalence and identify risk factors for development of urinary tract infections (UTI) among women of reproductive age in Tashkent. a cross-sectional epidemiological study of the prevalence and risk factors of UTI in women was performed. The case-control study was conducted according to the nest-typological method. A total of 1028 women were examined, of which 654 were of reproductive age. To evaluate the impact of various risk factors on the development of UTI, social-economic status, medical and obstetric history and complaints were analyzed. The prevalence of UTI in women of reproductive age was 8.71%. The causative agent of UTI in 99% of cases was E. coli, and S. aureus was isolated only in 1% of cases. The most significant risk factors for UTI were vaginal discharge (odds ratio (OR) 2.32, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.16-4.64), a history of pelvic inflammatory diseases (OS 1.99, 95 % CI 1.01-3.91), as well as the use of daily pads (OS 1.92, 95% CI 1.03-3.57). Vaginal discharge, a history of pelvic inflammatory diseases and the use of pads are significant risk factors for the development of UTI in women of reproductive age.
