Lieberman A, et al. - In a real-world clinical setting, researchers examined prescription filling for treating sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adolescents. Adolescents are disproportionately impacted by STIs, and account for almost half of all diagnosed STIs every year and are often diagnosed in the emergency department setting. Many STIs, like chlamydia and gonorrhea, can be treated with antibiotics effectively. Untreated, however, these infections can lead to severe morbidity. Although adolescents are often prescribed antibiotics to treat STIs, how often such prescriptions are actually filled after ED discharge is not known.
