Clinical Trial Summary

Screen-and-treat approach reduces postabortal pelvic inflammatory disease after induced abortion, and at the same time alters women's sexual behavior and prevents further re-infection by sexually transmitted infections when compared to the universal antibiotic prophylaxis strategy.


Description:

While universal antibiotic prophylaxis during induced abortion has been proven to reduce postabortal pelvic inflammatory diseases, screen-and-treat approach has the potential benefit of altering women's sexual behavior and preventing further re-infection by sexually transmitted infections. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of the two approaches in preventing postabortal pelvic inflammatory disease and the women's sexual behavior.
