A Systematic Review of Estimated Signs, Symptoms, and Risks Associated With Vaginal Candidiasis in Pregnancy: The Integration of A Traditional Approach and Personalized Self-assessment Questionnaire
Literature review highlights the need for better symptoms assessment in pregnant women, suggesting self-assessment tools could improve outcomes.
Key Points
Findings indicate that self-assessment tools can enhance the management of vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy, improving health outcomes.
Significant variability in study populations, with sample sizes from 80 to 13,863 patients, demonstrates a lack of standardized data on vaginal candidiasis.
Observational analysis revealed that many studies did not adequately address symptoms and risk factors related to vaginal candidiasis in pregnant women.
Incorporating self-assessment questionnaires into clinical practice is suggested, as it could lead to earlier detection and improved treatment of infections.
