Sexually transmitted infections （STIs） and related factors among pregnant women with non-local household registration in Xuhui District， Shanghai / 上海预防医学

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo study the sexually transmitted infections （STIs） in pregnant women with non-local household registration in Xuhui District and analyze the risk factors for STIs. MethodsFrom April 2020 to March 2022， pregnant women with non-local household registration who received their first prenatal examination in a general hospital in Shanghai Xuhui District were selected to conduct a status survey of STIs. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of bacterial vaginitis and ureaplasma uaplasma infection. ResultsThe top three infection rates in the pregnant women were Ureaplasma urealyticum （13.2%）， bacterial vaginosis （9.8%） and mycotic vaginitis （4.7%）. Age between 25 and 35 years （aOR=0.53，95%CI： 0.28‒0.98） and monthly income ≥8 000 yuan （aOR=0.30，95%CI： 0.11‒0.82） were significantly correlated with ureaplasma uaplasma infection. Pregnancy number of 2 （aOR=4.95， 95%CI： 1.59‒15.46）， first sexual relationship occurred before marriage （aOR=2.83， 95%CI： 1.04‒7.74）， husband's alcoholism （aOR=3.83， 95%CI： 1.08‒13.56）， high school education （aOR=0.27， 95%CI： 0.08‒0.93）， and husband's travel history （aOR=0.30， 95%CI： 0.12‒0.79） were significantly correlated with bacterial vaginitis. ConclusionPregnant women with more gestation times， first sexual intercourse before marriage and husband with heavy drinking are more likely to be infected with bacterial vaginosis. Pregnant women with younger age and lower income are more likely to be infected with Ureaplasma urealyticum. Follow-up and monitoring should be strengthened in these groups.
