Diagnosis and treatment of chlamydia and gonorrhoea in General Practice in England 2000-2011

A population based study using data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Read the full paper: http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/5/e0... Despite significant changes in the delivery of STI services, there is limited recent evidence on the extent to which STIs are diagnosed, treated and managed in general practice, and on the appropriateness and quality of care received there. In this study, we analysed data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and national STI surveillance databases to estimate the relative contribution of general practice to the diagnosis and treatment of chlamydia and gonorrhoea in England between 2000 and 2011. For those cases diagnosed in general practice, we investigated whether prescriptions to treat chlamydial and gonococcal infections were issued and, if so, whether these met standards specified in respective national treatment guidelines.
