Association between Trichomonas vaginalis infection and spontaneous preterm labour in Lagos, Nigeria: an analytical cross-sectional study
The study showed no independent association between T. vaginalis and PTL. We recommend future adequately powered longitudinal studies with consideration for other potential confounding factors, such as sexual lifestyle and STIs, to further explore any potential relationship between T. vaginalis and PTL.
