ABSTRACT
Objective:
To know the association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and multiparity. Studydesign:
Case control study.Setting:
Shree Sayaji General (SSG) Hospital, Government Medical College, Vadodara.Participants:
Women attending Gynec Clinics and Curative Practice and General Practice (CPGP) OPD. Sample size One hundred fifty cases and 150 controls. Statisticalanalysis:
Chi-square test.Results:
The odds ratio (OR) for PID with multiparity as risk factor was 0.69 with 95% confidence interval (CI) being 0.42-1.09. Among 143 cases multiparity was present in 63 cases (44.05), while in 150 controls it was in 80 (53.33%). The difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.141). But, the OR with untrained person as a risk factor for PID was 2.41 with 95% CI being 1.78-3.27. This suggests etiological fraction of 58.5% (CI 43.9-69.4%) among untrained persons. The delivery by untrained person was significantly higher in cases than in controls (p 0.00001).Conclusions:
Present study did not show multiparity as risk factor but delivery conducted by untrained persons emerged as a risk factor.
