    Objective: To describe the scientific evidence related to bacterial vaginosis and its association with preterm birth. Design: The approach was qualitative, with a retrospective research type and observational design. Study subjects: The sample consisted of 20 scientific articles relevant to the research topic, published between 2016 and 2021, which met the eligibility criteria. Instruments: The Grade system was used to assess the quality of the scientific evidence of the reviewed articles. Results: In 6 studies on the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy, an average of 31.6% was found, representing a "Low" prevalence. Regarding the association between bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth, 6 studies showed an average percentage of 33.6%, reflecting a "Low" association. In the studies that established this association with Odds Ratio, the average Odds Ratio was 3.87, indicating a "Low" strength of association. Finally, the average of 8 studies on the treatment of bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy showed that the use of probiotics and/or lactobacilli had 30% effectiveness, clindamycin had 53%, and metronidazole had an Odds ratio of 0.94. Conclusion: There is an association between bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth.
