Associations between vaginal douching, endometrial infection with BV-associated organisms1 and endometritis in the PEACH study
| Histologically confirmed endometritis | ||
| Douching <2 times /month n=433 RR (95% CI) | Douching ≥2 times/month n=100 RR (95% CI) | |
| Endometrial infection with one or more BV-associated organisms* | ||
| Yes | 1.36 (1.07 to 1.71) | 1.622 (0.91 to 2.61) |
| No | Ref. | Ref. |
| Endometrial infection with all four BV-associated organisms* | ||
| Yes | 1.53 (1.07 to 2.17) | 1.93 (0.97 to 3.82) |
| No | Ref. | Ref. |
*BV-associated organisms: Atopobium vaginae, BVAB1, Sneathia amnionii, or Sneathia sanguinegens.
BV, bacterial vaginosis; PEACH, PID Evaluation and Clinical Health; RR, relative risk.
