Introduction
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) in pregnancy is a common finding and is associated with an increased risk of pyelonephritis, preterm birth, and low birth weight. Despite these known risks, the management of ABU remains a subject of debate, as guidelines from gynecology, urology, and general practice often differ in their recommendations. This discrepancy can lead to uncertainty regarding screening and treatment in daily clinical practice.
The aim of this survey is to assess current diagnostic and treatment practices for ABU in pregnancy among healthcare professionals across Europe. By collecting real-world data, we aim to identify practice patterns, highlight deviations from existing guidelines, and support the development of more consistent, evidence-based recommendations for the future.
Participation is completely anonymous and voluntary. Completing the survey will take approximately 3–5 minutes. All responses will be statistically analyzed and presented in a scientific publication. Your input will help shape future clinical guidelines and promote more uniform practice across Europe.
Thank you very much for your participation!
