To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a routine rescreening (RS) culture several weeks after treatment for gonorrhea, as well as the specific efforts to ensure return visits, we followed 438 consecutive patients, 347 men and 91 women. Return visit compliance rates were 70 per cent for a test-of-cure culture, 27 per cent for a six-week RS, and 15 per cent at 12 weeks. The program detected seven cases of gonorrhea at $796 per case. In our clinic, RS is not a cost-effective way go control gonorrhea.
为评估淋病治疗数周后进行常规复查培养的成本效益，以及为确保患者复诊所做的具体努力，我们对438例连续患者进行了随访，其中男性347例，女性91例。治愈检查培养的复诊依从率为70%，六周复查的依从率为27%，12周时为15%。该项目检测出7例淋病病例，每例成本为796美元。在我们诊所，复查并非控制淋病的成本效益高的方法。
