Official title:
The Relationship Between GBS Screening in Pregnant Women Insured in Maccabi Healthcare Services (MHS) and Early-onset Neonatal Disease in Israel
Determination of GBS colonization rates in Pregnant Women insured with Maccabi Health Services, Doctors' Compliance Rates for Referral for Testing, test execution rates, and Early-onset GBS Disease (EOGBSD) Rates in Israel. Determine the relationship between conducting a GBS test in pregnant women and EOGBSD in Israel.
There have been few studies in recent years, which has prompted us to undertake this study. Our aim was to examine the current colonization rates and attack rates in the Israeli population. Our secondary aim was to evaluate the need to readjust recommendations towards universal screening. ;
