AV: aerobic vaginitis; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; PTB: preterm birth; PROM: prelabor rupture of membranes; pPROM: preterm prelabor mature rupture of membranes. Data are presented as number (%) and odds ratio with confidence interval. The analysis was adjusted for maternal age, body mass index, parity, previous cesarean delivery, hypertensive disorders with pregnancy, pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus, smoking habits, education level, and woman’s occupation. ^†As a result of the low frequency of this outcome, odds ratio was not reported. value < 0.05 is significant.
