Urinary Tract Infections in Women With Bacterial Vaginosis
Abstract
In Brief Objective To evaluate the risk of urinary tract infections in women with bacterial vaginosis. Methods One hundred twenty-nine women who presented for routine gynecologic examinations were evaluated for bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infections between June 1998 and March 1999. Results Sixty-seven women had bacterial vaginosis and 62 women did not. Fifteen women with bacterial vaginosis (22.4%) had urinary tract infections, compared with six (9.7%) of those without it. Bacterial vaginosis was associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infections (odds ratio 2.79; 95% confidence interval 1.05, 8.33). Conclusion Women with bacterial vaginosis are at increased risk for urinary tract infections. Women with bacterial vaginosis are at increased risk for urinary tract infections.

Lower lactobacilli levels promote bacterial vaginosis or vaginal E. coli colonization, which increases the risk of UTI recurrence.
“Therefore, lower lactobacilli levels promote bacterial vaginosis or vaginal E. coli colonization, which increases the risk of UTI recurrence [1, 14, 34, 35].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
