Screening of Gonococcal and Chlamydial Infections in the Third Trimester
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
The primary objective of this study is to retrospectively examine the incidence rates of N. gonorrhoeae (NG) and C. trachomatis (CT) in the first and third trimester for the obstetrical population at St. Michael's Hospital over the course of six months. Secondary objectives include (1) feasibility of instituting third trimester screening for sexually transmitted infections, and (2) assessment of physician compliance with Canadian screening and treatment guidelines. This information will help us to deduce the optimal timing of screening for NG and CT in the obstetrical population at St. Michael's Hospital.
It is hypothesized that the incidence rates of both NG and CT infections will be low, but that much can be learned from the positive cases in terms of risk factors and optimal timing of screening. Further, the feasibility of screening in the third trimester will offer options for future guidelines.
