背景/目标：越来越多的证据越来越多地表明避孕套在预防性传播感染方面的有效性。本分析的目的是提供一种疾病的具体估计避孕套在预防沙眼衣原体感染的有效性，同时控制已知的暴露于infection.Methods：避孕套的有效性沙眼衣原体估计使用的医疗记录数据库从公共性传播疾病诊所（n = 1455）。客户被归类为有已知的接触沙眼衣原体，如果他们到诊所作为一个接触到感染partner.Results：在客户与已知的接触，13.3%的一致的避孕套使用者被诊断为沙眼衣原体感染相比，34.4%的不一致的避孕套使用者（调整后的比值比= 0.10，95%CI：0.01至0.83）。在客户端与未知的曝光，有没有观察到的保护作用的consent.Conclusions：本研究提供了进一步的证据，避孕套是有效的，在预防沙眼衣原体感染的报告疾病的具体估计和限制分析，以个人与已知的曝光。
Background/objectives: A growing body of evidence is increasingly demonstrating the effectiveness of condoms for sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention. The purpose of the present analysis was to provide a disease specific estimate for the effectiveness of condoms in preventing Chlamydia trachomatis infection while controlling for known exposure to infection.Methods: Condom effectiveness for C trachomatis was estimated using a medical record database from a public sexually transmitted disease clinic ( n = 1455). Clients were classified as having known exposure to C trachomatis if they presented to the clinic as a contact to an infected partner.Results: Among clients with known exposure, 13.3% of consistent condom users were diagnosed with C trachomatis infection compared to 34.4% of inconsistent condom users ( adjusted odds ratio = 0.10; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.83). Among clients with unknown exposure, there was no observed protective effect of condoms.Conclusions: This study provides further evidence that condoms are effective in preventing C trachomatis infection by reporting a disease specific estimate and restricting analyses to individuals with known exposure.
