Improper administration of antibacterial therapy contributes to antibiotic resistance and causes side effects, while pregnant women are often excluded from clinical trials, which leads to a lack of data on the safety of medicines. The purpose of this study was to analyze the preferences of doctors of therapeutic profile and obstetricians and gynecologists (AiG) in the pharmacotherapy of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in pregnant women and assessment of their compliance with clinical recommendations. The study was conducted in 2018-2022 using the anonymous questionnaire method. 212 doctors from seven regions of Russia participated in the study. The results showed that 76.2% of participants indicated antimicrobial drugs (AMPS), while 89.2% of AiG and 63.8% of therapists prescribed AMPS (p0.001).

Any infectious diseases that occur during pregnancy can increase the risk of infection of the fetus, which in turn can lead to the threat of termination of pregnancy, premature birth and other complications. Improper administration of antibacterial therapy not only contributes to the growth of antibiotic resistance, but also causes various side effects, teratogenic effects and complications during pregnancy. The problem of choosing a suitable antimicrobial drug (AMP) and treatment errors in this group of women may be related to the fact that pregnant women are often excluded from clinical trials for ethical reasons, which leads to a lack of reliable data on the safety and efficacy of most medications.&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of the study. To analyze and compare the preferences of doctors of therapeutic profile and obstetrician-gynecologists in the pharmacotherapy of urinary tract infections in pregnant women and assess their compliance with current clinical recommendations.&lt;br /&gt;Materials and methods. "The study was conducted in 2018-2022 using the anonymous questionnaire method (pharmacoepidemiological knowledge cross-section) among doctors from seven regions/regions of Russia (Belgorod, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk, Moscow, Sakhalin, Voronezh regions and Krasnodar Territory). The author's full name of the study is The study of physicians' knowledge in antimicrobials use in pregnant women, abbreviated as PIKAP (the study was not registered in research registries on international clinical research portals and in the Russian Ministry of Health)" [1,2]. Qualitative variables were analyzed using four-field conjugacy tables and the chi-square criterion (2). If the values were less than 10, the chi-square criterion with the Yates correction was applied. A statistically significant difference was considered at the level of bilateral significance of p0.05. The subjects were asked to specify antimicrobial drugs (AMPS) prescribed when Mycoplasma (hominis or genitalium) bacteria were found in a pregnant woman. It was an open question. The rationale for choosing AMP was evaluated based on current clinical recommendations and treatment standards at the time of the study, and the safety of prescribed AMP for pregnant women was taken into account in accordance with European guidelines and recommendations [3-7]. &lt;br /&gt;Results. 212 people participated in the study, including 142 doctors (66.8%) and 70 obstetricians and gynecologists (33.2%). In the first question, 163 people (76.2%) indicated AMP among all questionnaires, of which 89.2% of obstetricians and gynecologists prescribed AMP and only 63.8% of doctors of therapeutic profile (p0.001). Josamycin was the drug of choice for both obstetrician-gynecologists and doctors of the therapeutic profile: 60.8% of AIG doctors indicated it, 26.2% of doctors of the therapeutic profile (p0.001). At the same time, the second most popular AMP group among doctors of the therapeutic profile was macrolides  14.1%. An alternative drug was indicated by 28.4% of AIG doctors and 17.4% of therapeutic physicians (p=0.054). Both groups of subjects chose azithromycin as an alternative AMP  10.8% of AIG doctors and 6.7% of therapeutic physicians (p=0.415). &lt;br /&gt;Conclusion. There is a lack of knowledge among doctors of the therapeutic profile regarding the treatment of bacteria of the genus Mycoplasma. Obstetricians and gynecologists more often chose a drug that meets clinical recommendations as the first line of therapy, as evidenced by the p-value.&lt;/p&gt;</body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Знания и предпочтения врачей в вопросах фармакотерапии беременных с инфекциями дыхательных путей: исследование PIKAP / Р.
