A literature review was undertaken to examine the risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women infected with Chlamydia trachomatis. A search of OVID Medline and Embase databases was conducted for studies published between 1946 and 26 June 2023. This review looked solely at prospective cohort study designs and searched reference lists of studies selected for inclusion. This literature review confirmed that C. trachomatisis a key factor in the development of PID in women through different pathogenic mechanisms. However, to reach more firm conclusions on the subject, further prospective cohort studies with a larger cohort size and a longer follow-up time are needed.
进行了一项文献综述,以研究感染沙眼衣原体的女性患盆腔炎(PID)的风险。对OVID Medline和Embase数据库进行了检索,查找1946年至2023年6月26日发表的研究。本综述仅关注前瞻性队列研究设计,并检索了入选研究的参考文献列表。该文献综述证实,沙眼衣原体通过不同的致病机制,是女性发生PID的关键因素。然而,为了就该主题得出更确凿的结论,需要进行更大样本量和更长随访时间的进一步前瞻性队列研究。
