摘要
Risk factors for genitourinary Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection were investigated using an STD elative risk factor questionnaire among 176 patients and theirregular sexual partners. Twenty-four independent variableswere selected for analysis, nine of which were confirmed asfactors associated with C. trachomatis. Four of the nine factorswere significantly correlated to infection using a multifactorialunconditional logistic regression model which included: levelof education (odds ratios [ORs]: 2.144 for below junior middleschool), number of sexual partners (ORs: 4.503 for≥5),number of regular partner's sexual partner (ORs: 16.333 for≥5), STD history of regular partner (ORs: 18.417 for theirSTD history). These data demonstrate that regular partner'ssexual behaviors are also an important risk factor for Ctinfection among STD clinic clients.
Summary: Risk factors for genitourinary Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection were investigated using an STD relative risk factor questionnaire among 176 patients and their regular sexual partners. Twenty-four independent variables were selected for analysis, nine of which were confirmed as factors associated with C. trachomatis. Four of the nine factorswere significantly correlated to infection using a multifactorialunconditional logistic regression model which included: levelof education ( odds ratios [ORs]: 2.144 for below junior middleschool ), number of sexual partners ( ORs: 4.503 for≥5 ),number of regular partner's sexual partner ( ORs: 16.333 for≥5 ), STD history of regular partner ( ORs: 18.417 for theirSTD history ). These data demonstrate that regular partner'ssexual behaviors are also an important risk factor for Ctinfection among, STD clinic clients.
