Associations of comorbidities, opioid use, and intimate partner violence, with urinary tract infections in pregnancy: implications for prevention and screening
Compared to reported UTIs rates from 2000 to 2002 of 17 %, our findings show that the occurrence of UTIs during pregnancy has decreased to 13 %. Given the relevant significant findings, increased screening for depression and IPV may be warranted for those presenting with UTI. In addition, increased screening for UTIs in Black, American Indian, and multiracial women can help prevent the development of serious sequelae of pregnancy-associated UTIs.
