| Abstract |
To determine the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and associated factors among 18-29-year-old women in 20 Peruvian cities using PREVEN project data. In this cross-sectional study, BV was defined using previously provided vaginal discharge samples on slides, which were Gram stained and observed under a microscope to determine the Nugent scores. A BV diagnosis was applied to samples with scores of 7-10. Prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated using generalized linear models. A total of 6,322 women participated in the epidemiological survey and provided vaginal swabs. The prevalence of BV was 23.7% (95% CI: 22.6-24.7) and was associated with a greater number of sexual partners in the last 12 months (PR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.03-1.44, p=0.020 for two partners; PR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.23-1.74, p<0.001 for three or more partners), not using a condom during last intercourse (PR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.01-1.34, p=0.034), being a sierra resident (PR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.05-1.31, p=0.004), and having abnormal vaginal discharge or a bad smell (PR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.09-1.33, p<0.001). The high prevalence of BV highlights the need to strengthen health services aimed at the detection and treatment of this condition. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 November 2016.
All research outputs
#16,722,913
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#144
of 458 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#210,917
of 337,652 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#3
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 458 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 337,652 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
