Study DesignWe compared HCU between a group of females aged 18 to 45 years who were Kaiser Permanente Medical Program members with a diagnosed STD (n= 1205) and a medical center–and age group–matched sample of women seen for a non-STD diagnosis in the same time period (n= 4820), with controlling where appropriate for age, medical center, and chronic disease status.ResultsAn STD diagnosis was associated with significantly greater likelihood of subsequent visits for STDs (relative risk [RR]= 3.8), pelvic inflammatory disease/endometritis (RR= 2.9), candidiasis (RR= 2.0), vaginitis (RR= 2.4), cervical dysplasia (RR= 1.7), menstrual disorders/abnormal bleeding (RR= 1.3), high risk/complicated/ectopic pregnancy (RR= 1.5), and behavioral/mental health problems (RR= 1.3) than for women seen for a non-STD diagnosis.ConclusionDetrimental sequelae of STDs are reflected in substantially elevated near-term HCU following an STD diagnosis.
