Pregnant women with UTI diagnosis were identified by the ICD\u201010 codes (O230\u2010O239, N300, N309, and N390) from the national patient registry. Hazard ratios (HR) for preterm birth after UTI diagnosis were calculated, considering the time elapsed after infection and interactions with gestational week at UTI diagnosis. Adjustments were made for maternal age, parity, previous caesarean section, body mass index, diabetes, and smoking.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A diagnosis of UTI was detected in 2.8% of pregnant women. A significant association between UTI diagnosis and preterm birth was found. The aHR for preterm birth was most pronounced during the first week after a UTI diagnosis and was dependent on gestational week. The aHRs (with 95% CI) for preterm birth 0\u20136\u2009days after UTI diagnosis were 18.5 (13.5\u201325.4), 13.5 (10.4\u201317.6), and 6.7 (5.6\u20138.0) for infections debuting week 22\u201327, 28\u201331, and 32\u201336, respectively. The corresponding aHRs for preterm birth 7\u201313\u2009days after UTI diagnosis were 10.5 (7.2\u201315.2), 3.7 (2.4\u20135.7), and 2.9 (1.9\u20134.5). The increased risk for preterm birth was still significant 3\u2009weeks or more after UTI diagnosis debuting at 22\u201327\u2009weeks (aHR 2.5; 95% CI: 2.1\u20133.1) or at 28\u201331\u2009weeks (aHR 3.2; 95% CI 2.0\u20134.6).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>UTI diagnosis during pregnancy is an important risk factor for preterm birth. The magnitude of the increased risk is highest 0\u20136\u2009days after diagnosis; thereafter, it declines but remains significant throughout pregnancy until 37\u2009weeks. The increased risk is especially elevated (and especially concerning) if UTI diagnosis was confirmed before 28\u2009weeks of gestation.<\/jats:p>\n
