Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: To evaluate the performance of a questionnaire in assessing the pregnancy status of women of reproductive age during preventive chemotherapy interventions.
UNASSIGNED: A questionnaire (20 questions) was administered to 1217 women of reproductive age (≥18 years) from Ilemela and Buchosa districts, northwestern Tanzania. A single urine sample was collected from each of them and tested using a rapid pregnancy test for presence of pregnant.
UNASSIGNED: Overall, 10.8% (132/1217) of the women reported to be pregnant at the specific question in the questionnaire. The rapid pregnancy test identified 15.1% (184/1217) of the women to be pregnant. In total, 86.4% (114/132) of the women who reported to be pregnant during the interview were confirmed to be pregnant using the rapid pregnant test. The question on pregnancy demonstrated an overall sensitivity of 62% and specificity of 98.3%.
UNASSIGNED: The questionnaire performance was not completely satisfactory; however, it managed to identify pregnant women in the first trimester. The question on the last date of the start of the menstrual period yield the highest sensitivity and appeared to be the key one used in combination with other questions. Further validation of these results in other countries with different cultures are recommended to fully evaluate the performance of this method.
摘要:
评估问卷在评估育龄妇女在预防性化疗干预期间的怀孕状况方面的表现。
对来自Ilemela和Buchosa地区的1217名育龄妇女(≥18岁)进行了问卷调查(20个问题),坦桑尼亚西北部。从每个尿液中收集单个尿液样品,并使用快速妊娠试验测试是否存在孕妇。
总的来说,10.8%(132/1217)的妇女报告在问卷中的特定问题中怀孕。快速妊娠试验确定了15.1%(184/1217)的孕妇。总的来说,86.4%(114/132)在访谈中报告怀孕的妇女使用快速怀孕测试确认怀孕。关于怀孕的问题显示出62%的总体敏感性和98.3%的特异性。
问卷表现并不完全令人满意;然而,它设法在妊娠早期识别孕妇。月经期开始的最后日期的问题产生最高的敏感性,似乎是与其他问题结合使用的关键问题。建议在其他具有不同文化的国家进一步验证这些结果,以全面评估该方法的性能。
