The Association of Smoking with Vaginal Flora, Urinary Tract Infection, Pelvic Floor Prolapse, and Post-Void Residual Volumes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the association of smoking with changes in vaginal flora, the prevalence of urinary tract infection, genital prolapse, and incomplete bladder emptying. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective review of charts for 305 women. In addition to smoking habits, data on age, parity, degree of genital prolapse, vaginal flora, urinary residual, urinary tract infection, and hormone replacement therapy were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Smoking did not correlate with urinary tract infection, the amount of post-void urine residual volumes, or pessary use. Smoking was significantly associated with the presence of a severe degree of genital prolapse. Smoking independently affected vaginal flora, increasing the odds of developing bacterial vaginosis. CONCLUSION: Smoking was associated with an increased risk of developing bacterial vaginosis and having severe genital prolapse. Smoking was not associated with urinary tract infection or the amount of post-void residual urine.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
