Correlates of bacterial vaginosis at the screening and enrolment visit - bivariable and multivariable models.

BV = bacterial vaginosis; Horm = hormonal; HSV-2 = herpes simplex virus type 2; NA = not applicable; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; Prim = primary education; PSA = prostate specific antigen; Ref = reference category; RTI = reproductive tract infection; Sec = secondary education; Sep/Div/Wid = separated, divorced or widowed.1BV as defined by Nugent score: for the analysis we classified BV-Positive Nugent 7–10 versus BV-Negative Nugent 0–6;2Bolded p-values indicate significant associations at the level p≤0.100 for the bivariable analysis and were selected for multivariable modelling. Adjusted odd-ratios are only shown for factors which remained statistically significant at p≤0.050 level after stepwise deletion.3Early pregnancy: gestation less than 14 weeks;4Antibiotic use within the last 14 days;5Recent vaginal sex: vaginal sex this morning and/or yesterday evening (only recorded at enrolment visit);6Presence of PSA a marker of semen in vaginal fluid;7Wash vagina at screening: When you bathe, do you wash inside the vagina? Recently (only recorded at enrolment visit): this morning and/or yesterday evening;8Includes: syphilis, Neisseria gonorrhoea, Chlamydia trachomatis, Trichomonas vaginalis.9Associations remain statistically significant in the non-pregnant women group (N = 219).Correlates of bacterial vaginosis at the screening and enrolment visit - bivariable and multivariable models.
