Candida vaginitis: Self-Reported Incidence and Associated Costs
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Incidence of Candida vaginitis by age and racial or ethnic group is poorly described. GOAL: Estimate incidence, cumulative probability of presumed C vaginitis by age, racial or ethnic group, and associated costs. STUDY DESIGN: Random digit-dialing survey of 2000 US women. RESULTS: A total of 6.5 percent (95% CI, 5.4-7.5%) of women older than 18 years reported a least one episode of presumed C vaginitis during the previous 2 months. Women reporting a 1-year period with four or more episodes comprised 8.0% of the sample but accounted for 37.2% of women reporting episodes. Black women reported approximately three times more yeast infections in the previous 2 months (17.4%; 95% CI, 11.2-23.5%) than white women (5.8%; 95% CI, 4.7-6.9%). CONCLUSION: The high incidence and the propensity for recurrence underscore the need for a better understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis, and stress the need for the development of more accurate, rapid diagnostics and effective treatments.

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.
