Subscribe/Renew Journal
Background: Global estimates showed that, between 5-15% of the burden of diseases is associated with failure to address reproductive health needs. More accurate data on RTI/STIs and their underlying causes will result in more appropriate programmatic and policy responses.
Objective: To study use of predictors as proxy for determining the possible diagnosis of RTI/STIs
Material and methods: One hundred and thirty three and ninety women suffering from RTI/STI from urban slums and rural area were included in the study. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine predictors of morbidity. Results: The predictors for RTI/STI in study participants were Parity, sanitary protection use and domestic violence at P<0.05.
