Treatment of trichomoniasis is therefore essential for improving sexual and reproductive health outcomes. A timely, sensitive diagnostic test for T vaginalis may increase the accuracy of clinician\u2019s treatment decisions, resulting in more infected women receiving treatment and fewer uninfected women receiving treatment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study was a retrospective observational assessment of electronic medical records before and after point-of-care (POC) implementation of the rapid antigen test. Records were collected from women aged 14 to 20 years who received a T vaginalis test in the emergency department during either study period. The main outcome measures were rates of accurate treatment, inaccurate treatment, and missed treatment of trichomoniasis in each study period.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Overall rates of accurate treatment increased from 78.7% pre-POC to 87.7% post-POC (P = .02). Specifically, rates of not treating uninfected women increased from 61.4% pre-POC to 70.4% post-POC (P = .06), and rates of treating infected women were the same pre-POC (17.3%) and post-POC (17.3%; P = .99). Rates of inaccurate treatment decreased from 23.1% pre-POC to 13.1% post-POC (P = .02). Changes in missed treatment rates (14.0% pre-POC; 8.8% post-POC; P = .73) were not statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>POC testing can improve clinical care by decreasing the use of antibiotics in uninfected women. The results of this study support the use of a T vaginalis rapid antigen POC test for adolescents presenting to the emergency department.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2015-2072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,21]],"date-time":"2016-05-21T11:49:20Z","timestamp":1463831360000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Rapid Antigen Testing for Trichomoniasis in an Emergency Department"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"137","author":[{"given":"Nikki R.","family":"Postenrieder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Reed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Hesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jessica A.","family":"Kahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charlotte A.","family":"Gaydos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Rompalo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lea E.","family":"Widdice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"2021120904491041000_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"698","DOI":"10.1086\/511278","article-title":"Infection with Trichomonas vaginalis increases the risk of HIV-1 acquisition.","volume":"195","author":"McClelland","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Infect Dis"},{"issue":"6","key":"2021120904491041000_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"353","DOI":"10.1097\/00007435-199707000-00008","article-title":"Trichomonas vaginalis associated with low birth weight and preterm delivery.","volume":"24","author":"Cotch","year":"1997","journal-title":"Sex Transm Dis"},{"key":"2021120904491041000_B3","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
