Pregnancy outcomes of women with mixed vaginitis
Puerperal infection is the main adverse outcome of women with mixed vaginitis. Compared with women without vaginitis (6.8% vs.1.0%) and single vaginitis (6.8% vs. 1.2%), the incidence of puerperal infection in women with mixed vaginitis was higher (P <0.05) (Table 4). Compared with women in VVC group (16.7%vs. 0%; P <0.05), AV group (16.7% vs. 3.2%,P >0.05) or normal group (16.7% vs. 1%; P <0.05), the incidence of puerperal infection of women in VVC+AV group increased, and which was more significant between women with VVC+AV and women with VVC and between women with VVC+AV and women in normal group. Compared with women in AV group (5% vs. 3.2%), BV group (5% vs. 2.4%) or normal group (5% vs. 1%), the incidence of puerperal infection of women in AV+BV group increased, but the differences was not statistically significant (P >0.05).
Mixed vaginitis may also lead to other adverse outcomes. Compared with women with single vaginitis, the incidence of MSAF (22.7% vs.9.2%; P <0.05) in patients with mixed vaginitis increased. Compared with women in VVC group, the incidence of PROM (33.3%vs. 9.1%; P <0.05) in women in VVC+AV group increased. Compared with patients in BV group, the incidence of NICU admission in patients in VVC+BV group was higher (36.4% vs. 9.5%;P <0.05).
