K Aruna, Khare Jyoti

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

RESULTS: Bacterial vaginosis was associated with 44% cases of preterm labor, wherein other causes of preterm labor were excluded, compared to 23% of controls. The reletive risk of preterm labor due to bacterial vaginosis was 1.9 and P value was 0.0016. The detection of clue cells in vaginal smear and Whiff test, when applied independently, had high sensitivity and high positive and negative predictive values.
