Key Points

The research aims to explore the association between environmental tobacco smoke exposure and the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease in non-smoking women.
Cross-sectional analysis conducted to assess serum cotinine levels as a measure of ETS exposure.
Participants included non-smoking women diagnosed with PID and those without.
Statistical analyses evaluated the correlation between cotinine levels and PID risk.
Significant association found between elevated serum cotinine levels and increased PID risk.
Non-smoking women with higher ETS exposure showed greater susceptibility to reproductive tract infections.

Implication

Cross-sectional analysis shows increased PID risk from ETS exposure in non-smoking women, suggesting prevention strategies.

Abstract

Serum cotinine-defined ETS exposure was significantly associated with increased PID risk in non-smoking women. Reducing ETS exposure may help prevent reproductive tract infections.
