Chlamydia positive was defined as a positive NAAT test outcome in the CSI study (CSI-NAAT), and/or the presence of chlamydia IgG and/or a self-reported chlamydia infection. For these analyses, multiple imputations were used to estimate time of first chlamydia infection in women without a known first year of chlamydia infection. Analyses were stratified for age categories based on tertiles. All models were adjusted for age at pregnancy/trying to get pregnant and migration background.
