Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection among women seeking abortions in France from January to September 2010, finding a 6.7% infection rate.
- Risk factors identified included being under 30, single relationship status, having few or no children, not using contraception, and being more than 11 weeks pregnant, with certain factors being independently linked to higher infection rates.
- The findings suggest the need for screening for CT before induced abortions, as this could improve patient outcomes, and further research is recommended to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of such a screening policy.
