Abstract

A prospective, cross-sectional study was undertaken of pregnant women attending antenatal services in the remote far west of New South Wales, Australia, between October 2004 and May 2006. Of 420 eligible women, 218 (52%) participated in the study. Six women (2.7%; 95% CI: 1.0-5.9) tested positive for Chlamydia trachomatis. The prevalence among pregnant, Indigenous women (n = 44) was 9.1% (95% CI: 2.5-21.7). Infection was significantly associated with Indigenous status (P = 0.003) and self-perceived risk for chlamydia (P = 0.05). Pregnant Indigenous women in remote areas may be at higher risk for chlamydia and targeted screening of this group should be considered.

摘要

2004年10月至2006年5月期间，在澳大利亚新南威尔士州最西部偏远地区，对参加产前检查的孕妇进行了一项前瞻性横断面研究。在420名符合条件的女性中，218名（52%）参与了研究。6名女性（2.7%；95%置信区间：1.0 - 5.9）沙眼衣原体检测呈阳性。怀孕的原住民女性（n = 44）中的患病率为9.1%（95%置信区间：2.5 - 21.7）。感染与原住民身份（P = 0.003）和自我感知的衣原体感染风险（P = 0.05）显著相关。偏远地区怀孕的原住民女性可能感染衣原体的风险更高，应考虑对该群体进行针对性筛查。
