Associations in multivariate analysis between clinical findings of cervicitis and the presence of N gonorrhoeae, C trachomatis, and M genitalium among sex workers in Ghana and Bénin*
| N gonorrhoeae | C trachomatis | M genitalium | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AOR (95% CI) | p Value | AOR (95% CI) | p Value | AOR (95% CI) | p Value | |
| AOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. | ||||||
| *The adjusted odds ratios were obtained after controlling for the presence of the other pathogens, and for age in the models with post-sampling bleeding, inflammatory cervix, cervical motion tenderness. For cervical discharge and pus on swab, age did not enhance the fit of the model and was not kept. | ||||||
| Cervical discharge | 4.4 (2.8 to 7.0) | <0.001 | 4.1 (1.8 to 9.3) | 0.002 | 1.6 (1.0 to 2.5) | 0.05 |
| Pus on swab | 6.0 (3.7 to 9.6) | <0.001 | 3.3 (1.3 to 8.4) | 0.02 | 1.6 (1.0 to 2.7) | 0.047 |
| Bleeding after sampling | 5.0 (2.9 to 8.6) | <0.001 | 1.3 (0.4 to 4.1) | 0.69 | 1.8 (1.0 to 3.1) | 0.04 |
| Inflammatory cervix | 4.1 (2.6 to 6.4) | <0.001 | 1.5 (0.6 to 3.8) | 0.42 | 1.6 (1.0 to 2.5) | 0.04 |
| Cervical motion tenderness | 3.0 (1.9 to 4.7) | <0.001 | 1.4 (0.5 to 3.5) | 0.50 | 1.3 (0.9 to 2.0) | 0.19 |
