Abstract :Aim: In our study, the relationship between preterm birth and genitourinary system infections during pregnancy was investigated Materials and Methods: Our study is a retrospective study. Patients who gave birth in our hospital between 2013 and 2023 were included in the study. Our study was carried out with 1005 patients, 504 cases and 501 control groups. Births between 20 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation were taken as preterm birth. Patients with singleton pregnancy were included in the study. SPSS (IBM SPSS for Windows, Ver.26) statistical package program was used for statistical analysis of our study. Results: A total of 1005 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 27.98±4.8. In our study, the rate of preterm birth in the control group was 13. As a result of our study, the rate of preterm birth was found to be statistically significantly higher in the group diagnosed with infection during pregnancy compared to the control group (p=0.000). The risk of preterm birth was found to be 5.6 times higher in the group diagnosed with infection during pregnancy compared to the control group (Odds Ratio: 5.593). Conclusion: Having genitourinary system infection during pregnancy leads to a significant increase in the risk of preterm birth.
