ResumoThe effect of sexually transmitted diseases on various adverse outcomes of pregnancy owing to direct fetal and infant infection and increased preterm birth is estimated for the entire population of the United States. The large potential impact of bacterial vaginosis on adverse outcomes through an increased risk of preterm birth is emphasized. This type of analysis may be useful for priority determinations in research and intervention programs.
