Abstract
Untreated bacteriuria has been linked to a higher likelihood of preterm birth, low birth weight and perinatal mortality in the majority of studies, although not all. In a meta‐analysis of 19 studies, it was found that among women who did not have bacteriuria, the chances of experiencing preterm delivery and having a low‐birth‐weight infant were 50% and 66% lower, respectively, compared to women with asymptomatic bacteriuria. Pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria were followed longitudinally for certain maternal and fetal outcome. The sample size is required to follow up pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria to observe the fetal outcome of LBW and preterm birth is 50. the confidence level is 90% and relative precision specified is 0.23. Fetal outcomes like Preterm birth and low birth weight were more among Bacteriurics which was 25% and 16.6% respectively compared to non Bacteriurics. There was almost similar proportion of anaemic mothers in both Bacteriuria and non‐bacteriuria groups which was 75% and 77.2% respectively.
