Table 1 Characteristics of patients in UTI and non-UTI groupsThis table presents a comparison of the patient characteristics between those diagnosed with urinary tract infections (UTI) and non-UTI groups. Parameters include age, body mass index (BMI), parity, gestational age, and types of hypertension in pregnancy. Statistical analysis, with corresponding P values, shows no significant differences between the 2 groups across these characteristics. The most common age group, BMI range, and type of hypertension are displayed, with no statistically significant associations identified in any category (P values >0.05).
