The study objective was to investigate Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) testing patterns, prevalence, and incidence among men and women in Sør-Trøndelag county, central Norway, 1990-2003.
The goal of this study was to obtain data for recommendations regarding CT screening.
Laboratory data on CT tests for persons 15 to 24 years old were retrieved and analyzed.
Four percent of men and 44% of women had been CT tested at least once by the age of 20. By the age of 25, 44% of men and 84% of women had been tested. Prevalence at first test was at its peak in 2000-2002 (men: 15-19 years 18%, 20-24 years 23%; women: 15-19 years 11%, 20-24 years 9%). Incidence estimates were higher for persons with a positive first test than for persons with a negative first test.
More men and more female teenagers need to be tested. Repeat testing is particularly important among people who have been diagnosed with CT.
本研究目的是调查1990 - 2003年挪威中部南特伦德拉格郡男性和女性沙眼衣原体(CT)检测模式、患病率及发病率。
本研究的目标是获取数据,以便为CT筛查建议提供依据。
检索并分析了15至24岁人群CT检测的实验室数据。
到20岁时,4%的男性和44%的女性至少接受过一次CT检测。到25岁时,44%的男性和84%的女性接受过检测。首次检测时的患病率在2000 - 2002年达到峰值(男性:15 - 19岁为18%,20 - 24岁为23%;女性:15 - 19岁为11%,20 - 24岁为9%)。首次检测呈阳性者的发病率估计高于首次检测呈阴性者。
需要对更多男性和更多女性青少年进行检测。对于已被诊断为CT感染的人群,重复检测尤为重要。
