... [1] Gender was an important risk factor and thus the prevalence of urinary tract infection was more in women as compared to male due to physiological differences [2] Previous studies suggest a significant association between diabetes and UTI. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Thus this study conducted to determine the frequency of urinary tract infection in female student in comparison with diabetic and pregnant women. ...
... [3,4,5,9] However, UTI was detected in 46.4% of diabetic women and this rate was higher to that reported previously reported studies from different geographical areas which show a range of 13.96% -38.5%. [6,7,9,10] Recurrent urinary tract infection in diabetic women was also higher than those without and with a range of 1.6% to 15.9%. [9,12,13] Several mechanisms were suggested as that lead to increase in prevalence and incidence of urinary tract infections in diabetic, bladder www.wjpps.com ...
... In addition, other risk factors influenced the prevalence of urinary tract infections [2]. Although, the infection is common globally, however, regional variation in its epidemiologic characteristics were reported [3][4][5][6][7]. Age, gender, diabetes and pregnancy are with association with urinary tract infections . ...
... The low UTI infection rate in indigent women was due to sample influence as the main bulk of study population of the pregnant women was with average and good socioeconomic levels. In literature it was reported that incidence of UTI during pregnancy was associated with socioeconomic status and the infection was higher in indigent subjects [3,29]. However, other studies not found such significant association [28,30]. ...
Background: Urinary tract infection is common with health impact in women and characterised by failure to treatment and recurrent episodes. Aim: This study was conducted to determine the risk factors for the development of urinary tract infection in diabetic and pregnant women in comparison to student female. Materials and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted during the period from 1st of June 2015 to the end of January 2016. The population included in the study are 563 women, of them 425 were outpatients, and 138 were inpatients. Their age range between 18 and 80 years, with a mean age of 33.59±15.29 years. Urine samples collected and cultured on blood agar and MacConkey agar by spread plate technique. Bacterial colonies with different morphology were selected, purified and identified according to their biochemical characteristics using conventional standard methods. Results: In diabetic women, there were no significant difference in mean age and BMI values between culture positive and culture negative groups. However, pus cell mean scale was significantly higher [P=0.000] in women with urinary tract infection [1.76±1.25] than in those with negative culture [0.69±1.00]. In pregnant women, BMI mean value was significantly [P=0.013] lower in pregnant women with UTI [26.14] as compared to those without infection [26.99]. Pus cell scale mean value was significantly [P=0.000] higher in pregnant women with UTI [1.55] than women with negative UTI [0.85]. While there was no significant difference in mean age between UTI positive and negative pregnant women. In female student, there was a significant difference between UTI infected and non-infected in mean age [P=0.041] and pus cell scale [P=0.000]. However, BMI was not significantly different between infected and non-infected female student. Other risk factors association are variables in the 3 groups when analysed using X2, while AUC and OR show different trends of association between risk factors and UTI. Conclusion: BMI, pus cell scale, child number, delivery method, operation history and hospital setting were significantly associated with culture positivity in the 3 studied groups as determined by AUC. While OR confirmed association with pus sale scale in the 3 groups.
