Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the presence of bacteria in the urine without symptoms of urinary tract infection. It is common during pregnancy and, if left untreated, may lead to complications such as pyelonephritis, preterm labor, and low birth weight. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence and identify associated risk factors of ASB among pregnant women attending antenatal care at a tertiary care hospital.
