Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is the second most commonly reported STI in Tulsa County. If left untreated, gonorrhea can result in serious and painful infections and may lead to infertility in both men and women. In pregnant women, the infection can be passed to the baby during childbirth, increasing the risk of blindness or life-threatening complications for the infant.

This statistic is expressed as a rate per 100,000 population, based on reported cases in a single year. Zip code level data calculations were performed by the Tulsa Health Department (THD) using raw data from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), Center for Health Statistics (CHS), Health Care Information (HCI), with population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau (census.gov).

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is the most commonly reported STI in Tulsa County. Often asymptomatic, chlamydia can still cause significant reproductive health complications if left untreated, particularly for women. When symptoms do occur, they may include abnormal vaginal discharge, penile discharge, and a burning sensation during urination. Chlamydia can also be transmitted from mother to infant during childbirth, potentially leading to eye infections that may cause blindness.

This metric shows infants weighing less than 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces) at birth. This statistic is expressed as a percentage of all live births to Tulsa County mothers, reported by single calendar years.

Infants born with low birth weight are at higher risk for health complications such as developmental delays and respiratory problems. Factors like smoking, alcohol use, poor nutrition, stress, domestic violence, and environmental exposures can increase the risk. Early and regular prenatal care plays a critical role in helping prevent low birth weight and improving health outcomes.

Preterm birth is a significant public health concern as it is a leading cause of infant mortality and contributes to long-term health challenges, including an increased risk of illness and disability throughout life. Factors such as maternal age, race, socioeconomic status, infections, previous preterm births, multiple pregnancies, and lifestyle choices like tobacco or alcohol use can increase the likelihood of a preterm delivery. Monitoring the prevalence of preterm births helps identify at-risk populations and can inform targeted interventions to improve maternal and child health outcomes.
