Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals elevated Chlamydia trachomatis rates and adverse perinatal outcomes in high-risk pregnant women, supporting targeted antenatal screening.

Key Points

  • To assess the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae among high-risk pregnant women and evaluate their association with maternal and neonatal outcomes.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study of N=119 high-risk pregnant women (with syphilis, hepatitis B virus, or HIV) at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, between 2022 and 2025.
  • Tested endocervical swabs using nucleic acid amplification testing for C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae, and evaluated vaginal smears for bacterial vaginosis.
  • Evaluated maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with infection using logistic regression analysis.
  • Prevalence was 18.5% for C. trachomatis, 3.4% for N. gonorrhoeae, and 13.4% for bacterial vaginosis across the cohort.
  • C. trachomatis infection was significantly associated with intrapartum fever (odds ratio 3.78; P = 0.045).
  • C. trachomatis infection was significantly linked to neonatal intensive care unit admission (odds ratio 7.50; P = 0.043).
