Objetivo:  Determinar la asociación entre la infección del tracto urinario y el parto prematuro.  Métodos:  Estudio retrospectivo, analítico, de casos y controles. Se seleccionaron como casos 30 embarazadas con diagnóstico de parto prematuro, y para comparación, 60 embarazadas como control. Se evaluó como factor de riesgo, la presencia de infección del tracto urinario; además, se incluyeron otros factores de confusión. Para el análisis bivariado, se usó la prueba de chi-cuadrado. Cada exposición se evaluó por separado, para determinar su asociación con la variable dependiente. Las variables independientes significativas se incluyeron en una regresión logística multivariada, con el fin de corregir los factores de confusión. La asociación se analizó mediante odds ratio, con intervalos de confianza del 95 %; los valores de p se calcularon con un nivel de significancia &lt;0,05. Se utilizó el programa SPSS versión 25 para procesar los datos.  Resultados:  Se encontró que 27 (90 %) gestantes en el grupo de casos, y 33 (55 %) en el grupo control, tenían infección urinaria; siendo significativamente (p &lt; 0,00) mayor en el grupo de casos. Además, en el análisis multivariado, la infección urinaria se asoció significativamente con el parto prematuro (p &lt; 0,00), aumentando su riesgo (ORA = 15,5).  Conclusiones:  La infección del tracto urinario está asociada al parto prematuro.]]></p></abstract>

Objective:  To determine the association between urinary tract infection and premature birth.  Methods:  Retrospective, analytical, case-control study. 30 pregnant women with a diagnosis of premature birth were selected as cases, and 60 pregnant women as controls were selected for comparison. The presence of urinary tract infection was evaluated as a risk factor; other confounding factors were also included. For the bivariate analysis, the chi-square test was used. Each exposure was evaluated separately to determine its association with the dependent variable. Significant independent variables were included in a multivariate logistic regression in order to correct the confounding factors. The association was analyzed using odds ratios, with 95 % confidence intervals; p values were calculated with a significance level &lt;0.05. The SPSS version 25 program was used to process the data.  Results:  It was found that 27 (90%) pregnant women in the case group, and 33 (55%) pregnant women in the control group, had urinary infection; being significantly (p&lt;0.00) higher in the case group. Furthermore, in the multivariate analysis, urinary infection was significantly associated with premature birth (p&lt;0.00) increasing its risk (AOR=15.5).  Conclusions:  Urinary tract infection is associated with premature birth.]]></p></abstract>
