Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis: Pregnancy is a risk factor for urinary tract infection (UTI), and it has been shown that frequent urine voiding was a protecting factor against UTI for nonpregnant female cleanroom workers. We conducted a study to evaluate whether these findings also apply to pregnant women.

Methods: We recruited female workers in an industrial park who received an annual health examination between August 1 and September 31, 2003. From each participant, we collected a urine sample and obtained information through a questionnaire.

Results: A total of 2,062 workers, including 118 pregnant and 1,944 nonpregnant women, participated in the study. Pregnancy was a significant risk factor for both symptomatic (odds ratio [OR] = 6.33) and asymptomatic (OR = 2.13) UTIs. Urine voiding three or more times during a shift was a significant protective factor for asymptomatic UTI (OR = 0.40).

Conclusions: UTI is common among pregnant cleanroom workers, and frequent voiding appears to be a protecting factor.

电子工业怀孕工人尿路感染的流行及相关因素。

引言和假设:怀孕是尿路感染的危险因素，研究表明，频繁排尿是未怀孕的洁净室女工患尿路感染的保护因素。我们进行了一项研究来评估这些发现是否也适用于孕妇。方法:于2003年8月1日至9月31日对某工业园区女工进行年度健康检查。我们收集了每位参与者的尿液样本，并通过问卷调查获得了相关信息。结果:共有2062名员工参与了这项研究，其中包括118名孕妇和1944名非孕妇。妊娠是有症状(优势比[OR] = 6.33)和无症状(OR = 2.13)尿路感染的重要危险因素。排尿三次或更多次是无症状尿路感染的重要保护因素(or = 0.40)。结论:尿路感染在孕妇洁净室工作人员中很常见，频繁的排尿可能是一个保护因素。
