What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the association between urinary tract infections (UTIs) and preeclampsia in pregnant women in Pakistan. It will enroll 160 participants, with half diagnosed with UTIs and the other half without, from the Obstetrics Department of PAF Hospital, Islamabad. The study will follow these patients until delivery to assess any potential correlations between the two conditions. The findings could provide insights into the impact of UTIs on pregnancy outcomes, particularly regarding preeclampsia.
