AV: aerobic vaginitis; PTB: preterm birth; PROM: prelabor rupture of membranes; pPROM: preterm prelabor rupture of membranes; NICU: neonatal intensive care unit. Data are presented as number (%). value < 0.05 is significant. Severe aerobic vaginitis was diagnosed when a composite was determined by saline wet mount microscopy [3].
