Linear Regression Model That Examined Factors Associated With Neisseria gonorrhoeae Burdens in Women
| Association of N. gonorrhoeae Burdens (log10) in Women | Unadjusted β Coefficient (95% CI) | Adjusteda β Coefficient (95% CI)b |
|---|---|---|
| N. gonorrhoeae burdens, log10, in male sex partners | 0.549 (.354–.743) P < .001 |
0.527b (.336–.718) P < .001 |
| Chlamydia trachomatis status, positive vs negative, in women | 0.575 (.076–1.075) P = .25 |
0.451c,d (.031–.871) P = .036 |
Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval.
a
Model estimates below are similar after additional adjustment for nonsignificant factors: male C. trachomatis status, male Mycoplasma genitalium status, and male age.
b
Adjusted for C. trachomatis status in women.
c
Adjusted for burdens of N. gonorrhoeae in male sex partners.
d
Fold increase: 100.451 = 2.82.
