dc.description.abstract | Urinary tract infections (UTI) contribute to substantive proportions of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Current national statistics in Kenya show high maternal mortality (488/100,000) and neonatal mortality (24/1,000) rates. Kenya continues to report increasing prevalence and incidence rates of UTI associated with maternal and neonatal deaths. Kisumu County in western Kenya has a high maternal mortality rate of 495/100,000 with uncaptured maternal morbidity relative to the national average. However, information on the epidemiology of gestational UTI in the County, is limited. Semi-urban Chulaimbo and Nyahera Sub-County hospitals were used as model facilities to establish the burden of UTI during pregnancy and the specific clinical diagnosis and therapeutic management strategies. | en_US |
