Common use of Infection Clause in Contracts

Infection. Bacterial vaginosis has been associated with preterm birth. Bacterial vaginosis is a disturbance in naturally occurring vaginal flora. A meta-analysis of 18 studies showed that bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy doubles the likelihood of a preterm birth.57 Pregnant women randomized to receive intensive treatment after a bacterial vaginosis diagnosis were less likely to deliver preterm compared to those women receiving only standard care of the bacterial vaginosis (p=0.0001).58 However, a meta-analysis of 10 studies showed non-statistically significant effects of bacterial vaginosis treatment.59 Preconception Health Large scale surveys have shown that half of all pregnancies in the US are unintended, and that most women at risk of pregnancy are not in optimum health. In one study, nearly half of women at risk of pregnancy were overweight or obese, and 75% ate less than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Forty-six percent of preconceptional women were unaware of the benefits of folic acid in preventing birth defects, and more than a third did not take a multivitamin supplement of any kind.60 Pregnant women who delivered preterm were more likely to have pre-pregnancy hypertension, self-reported poor physical function, and depressive symptoms in the three months before the pregnancy.61 After adjustment for demographic characteristics, women who were classified by pre-pregnancy BMI as underweight were more than twice as likely to deliver a preterm infant.61 Women suffering pregnancy associated hypertension had triple the risk of preterm delivery.61 However, hypertension pre- existing the pregnancy also increases risk of preterm delivery.61
