Background summary
To make a valid diagnosis of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) or urinary tract
infections (UTI), urine must be collected accurately. It is not known whether
the method of urine collection influences the amount of contamination in
pregnant women. However, it is important to investigate this, since pregnant
women have weight gain, more vaginal discharge and a changed urinary tract
anatomy compared to non pregnant women.
Study objective
What is the most reliable way, defined as the lowest percentage rate of urines
which are contaminated, to collect urine in pregnant women to asses
bacteriuria? Comparison of three different methods of collection: midstream
morning urine, midstream urine without instructions and midstream clean catch
urine.
Study design
Cross sectional study
Study burden and risks
The burden of this research consists of three urine samples during one prenatal
visit in the second or third pregnancy trimester, > 22 weeks of pregnancy. The
urine will be screened anonymous after these visits in the laboratory by a
combination of a nitrite and leukocytes test, a gram-stain and a urine culture.
