description <h3>Objectives</h3> <p>To explore the influence of ambient temperature and humidity on significant bacteriuria (SB) and urinary bacterial isolates in pregnant women.</p> <h3>Methods</h3> <p>A retrospective observational study was conducted in the sole tertiary-care hospital in Doha, Qatar. A sample of 1588 pregnant women delivering between June 2012 and March 2013 was randomly selected. Meteorological variables including ambient average daily temperature and humidity were sourced from online meteorological data, and patient information such as demographic data, urine culture results and bacterial isolates were collected from patient files. The receptor operative curve (ROC) analysis was used to determine the cutoff for temperature and humidity. Statistical analyses of associations between SB and bacterial isolates with respect to the ambient temperature and humidity were performed using Pearson’s correlation, the chi-square (χ2) test and the Kruskal-Wallis test.</p> <h3>Results</h3> <p>Of the 21.24% positive cultures, 11.25% had SB. SB showed a significant strong positive (r = +0.677, n = 17, P = 0.003) and moderate negative (r = −0.587, n = 17, P = 0.013) correlation with average monthly temperature and humidity, respectively, with doubling of rates noted with temperatures ≥35°C (11.3% vs. 3.6%; P < 0.0001) and humidity ≤50% (10.6% vs. 3.2%; P < 0.0001). <em>Escherichia coli</em> and Group B Streptococcus (GBS) were the most common isolates.</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>This is the first study in this region that demonstrates maternal risk with SB, with ambient temperatures of ≥35°C and humidity ≤50%. The effect of these variables on the growth of various urinary bacteria has also been shown.</p> <h2>Other information </h2> <p>Published in: Journal of Perinatal Medicine<br> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br> See article on publisher's website: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/jpm-2018-0419" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/jpm-2018-0419</a></p>
