Table 2. Summary of risk estimates.

Manitoba, Canada Denmark Chlamydia Study UK-based POPI-RCT
Deferred screening Screened
Prevalence of chlamydia (95% CI) 5.48% (5.31–5.65) 4.32% (3.65–4.99) 5.93% (4.63–7.23) 5.42% (4.17–6.68)
Observed rate of PID per 100,000 women by 12-months 2086.04 890.16 1598.96~ 1346.07~
Incidence of PID in chlamydia positive (95% CI) 5.27% (4.59–6.00) 1.28% (1.21–1.35) 9.46% (2.79–16.13) 1.59% (0.00–8.53)
Incidence of PID in chlamydia-negative (95% CI) 1.90% (1.80–2.00) 0.67% (0.63–0.71) 1.34% (0.91–1.91)*
Relative risk (95% CI) 2.77 (2.41–3.20) 1.92 (1.78–2.08) 7.06 (3.21–15.55) 1.19 (1.64–8.55)
Attributable risk 3.37 0.61 8.12 0.25
Attributable risk % 63.95% 48.01% 85.84% 15.63%
Population excess fraction (95% CI) 8.86% (7.15–10.75) 3.84% (3.26–4.41) 26.44% (11.57–46.32) 0.99% (0.00–29.06)
Crude number of cases attributed to baseline chlamydia in cohort of tested women (study size) 134 (72,883) 98 (286,223) 6 (1270)** 0.1 (1259)**
Number of cases attributed to baseline chlamydia per 100,000 tested women 184 34 484 13

~Data not available to allocate PID incidence in chlamydia-negative women to the two study arms therefore combined chlamydia-negative data used in calculation

*Data not available to calculate separately

**Assumption that incidence of PID in chlamydia-negative women is 1.34%.
