Table 2 The association between bacteriuria and hypertension in pregnancyThe odds ratio (OR) for bacteriuria with hypertension is 2.01 (95% CI: 1.47–2.76, P<0.001), indicating a significant association. Conversely, the OR for non-bacteriuria is 0.5 (95% CI: 0.38–1.02, P<0.001), suggesting that women without bacteriuria are less likely to have hypertension.
| Disease | Hypertension (n=226) | Non-hypertension (n=517) | Odds ratio | p value | Confidence interval 95% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Positive bacteriuria (n=322) | 125 | 197 | 2.01 | <0.001 | 1.47–2.76 |
| Negative bacteriuria (n=421) | 101 | 320 | 0.5 | <0.001 | 0.38–1.02 |
