  1. BASHH 2009 Asymptomatic Screening Audit in UK GUM Clinics ~ Case Notes Audit ~

  2. BASHH 2009 Asymptomatic Screening Audit • Audit methods • Results (selected) • Limitations • Conclusions • Recommendations for practice change 

  3. Recommendations audited against • BASHH Clinical Effectiveness Group: Sexually Transmitted Infections: UK National Screening and Testing Guidelines August 2006* *http://www.bashh.org/guidelines

  4. Asymptomatic case definition • No symptoms offered on presentation (either on a triage form, or similar form, or on direct questioning by a healthcare worker) • New or re-book

  5. Methods • First 30 consecutive patients January to March 2009 • Questionnaire designed by NAG, available at: http://www.bashh.org/groups • Electronically data submission using Feedback Server software and downloaded for analysis using Microsoft Access and Excel. • Data collated and aggregated by • Clinics: regional aggregates • Regions: national aggregate

  6. Results …

  7. Main messages • HIV, syphilis, chlamydia – good testing performance against BASHH first line recommended tests • Gonorrhoea: good testing performance only when culture plus NAATs included • Throat and rectal gonorrhoea screening common practice for MSM • Especially when sexual history documented

  8. Contribution of cases, N= 4428 • 4428 cases from 157 clinics (~60% of all GU Medicine clinics) • Regional contribution: 2-17%

  9. Gender & sexual preference, N= 4428 • Men: 2297 (52%, 43–59%) • Heterosexual: 2078 (47%, 37–56%) • MSM: 219 (5%, 2–8%) • Women: 2131 (48%, 41–57%)

  10. Results: specific infection screening in asymptomatic groups HIV & syphilis screening …

  11. HIV screening in asymptomatic groups “All patients attending the GUM clinic should be offered an HIV test, according to the National Strategy for Sexual Health and HIV ” Testing uptake standard 60%

  12. HIV testing in women (n=2131)

  13. HIV testing in MSM (n=219)

  14. Syphilis screening* in asymptomatic groups “Screening is recommended for all asymptomatic patients attending a UK GU clinic” *Any test for syphilis: EIA, TPPA, VDRL/RPR,TPHA

  15. Chlamydia screening …

  16. Chlamydial screening

  17. Gonorrhoea screening …

  18. MSM, n= 219 CEG test of choice: culture for invasive sampling * Recommended if urethral specimen not available

  19. Heterosexual men, n=2078 CEG test of choice: culture for invasive sampling * Recommended if urethral specimen not available

  20. Women, n=2131 CEG test of choice: culture for invasive sampling

  21. Throat and rectal screening for gonorrhoea by culture

  22. Asymptomatic MSM: rectal and throat gonorrhoea culture, n= 219

  23. NAATs for gonorrhoea screening

  24. Urine NAATs for Gc in MSM

  25. Conclusions and recommendations

  26. Limitations- not known: • Patient, clinician or systems preferences influencing choice of • Invasive/non-invasive sampling • NAATs/culture • Positive NAATs for gonorrhoea • Culture confirmation • Repeat testing with different NAAT target to avoid false positives

  27. Main messages • HIV, syphilis, chlamydia – good testing performance against BASHH first line recommended tests • Gonorrhoea: good testing performance only when NAATs included • Urine GC NAATs: often used, including 45% MSM • Throat and rectal gonorrhoea screening common practice for MSM • Especially when sexual history documented

  28. Suggested Areas for Practice Improvement/Interventions- 1 • Increased documentation of discussion about oral and anal sex • Recommended in the BASHH Guideline on sexual history taking • Identifies anatomical sites for sampling

  29. Suggested Areas for Practice Improvement/Interventions- 2 • Culture needed in every clinic? • Regional strategies? … … balance NAATs with culture testing for gonorrhoea to monitor antibiotic sensitivity (Gonococcal Resistance to Antimicrobials Surveillance Programme)

  30. Detailed data and PowerPoint presentation on: www.bashh.org/committees/nag/index.htm • Late 2010: DH-funded audit of BASHH STI Management Standards … the end
