Description
Summary:In preparing this review, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) began by considering what type of evidence would be necessary to require revision of the 2001 systematic review of the evidence on screening for chlamydial infection. For example, since the USPSTF in 2001 found insufficient evidence to conclude that screening men could lead to a decreased incidence of infection in women, new evidence concerning this question might lead to a revision of the USPSTF recommendation for screening men. Additionally, changes in the epidemiology of chlamydial infection might lead to a revision of the categorization of increased risk
