Abstract

Objective: To summarize studies that evaluate possible birth and postpartum outcomes in women who had Urinary Tract Infection during pregnancy. Methods: Integrative literature review with a search carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed), Web of Science and CINAHL databases, using articles from 2018 to 2022 as inclusion criteria. Results: Seven articles were selected for this review, with all studies bringing premature labor as one of the main outcomes, followed by 71.4% pointing out low birth weight, 42.9% highlighting death neonatal, 28.6% point to miscarriage and premature rupture of membranes, 14.3% associate neonatal asphyxia and pre-eclampsia as one of the main findings. Furthermore, 42.9% of the articles outlined the sociodemographic profile of these women, relating maternal age, multiparity, ethnicity and socioeconomic conditions. Conclusion: Prematurity, low birth weight and neonatal death were the main outcomes found in this review. It is suggested that new studies investigate whether there is a relationship between neonatal asphyxia and pre-eclampsia as complications of UTI during pregnancy.
