No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Preterm delivery is a public health priority in Martinique, a French oversees territory located in the Caribbean, with a rate of 10,5% substantially higher than in Continental France (7,5%). Bacterial vaginosis is an imbalance of vaginal flora known to be associated with preterm delivery risk. Studies driven in the United States have pointed out that 50% of the excess in preterm birth rate observed in Afro-American population compared to Caucasian population may be attributable to infection. Bacterial vaginosis appears much more prevalent in our population than in Continental France (approximatively 30% versus 7%) and may constitute an explanation to the discrepancy in preterm delivery rate.
