The Association between Mycoplasma Species Infection and Tubal Obstruction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objectives: Numerous factors can cause infertility. Tubal factor accounts for approximately 30% of infertility in females. This study was conducted to evaluate the rate of asymptomatic Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in females diagnosed with tubal obstruction. Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study conducted at New Life Fertility Centre. We have identified and reviewed the health records of 167 subfertile women that had HSG and an endocervical swab for Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum done. Results: We compared the endocervical swab results of ureaplasma and mycoplasma in the patients with tubal obstruction (group 1) to the patients with normal patent tubes (group 2). Diagnosis of tubal patency was based on the HSG results. Our results show that there is a significantly higher rate of Ureaplasma urealyticum/Mycoplasma hominis infection in group 1 compared to group 2. Conclusion: Our data shows that there is a high rate of U. urealyticum and M. hominis infection in patients diagnosed with tubal factor of infertility and it can be a marker in the prediction of the tubal pathology.

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.
