Using Data

SUMMARYInformation on the incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is essential for models of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of screening programmes. We developed two independent estimates of CT incidence in women in England: one based on an incidence study, with estimates ‘recalibrated’ to the general population using data on setting-specific relative risks, and allowing for clearance and re-infection during follow-up; the second based on UK prevalence data, and information on the duration of CT infection. The consistency of independent sources of data on incidence, prevalence and duration, validates estimates of these parameters. Pooled estimates of the annual incidence rate in women aged 16–24 and 16–44 years for 2001–2005 using all these data were 0·05 [95% credible interval (CrI) 0·035–0·071] and 0·021 (95% CrI 0·015–0·028), respectively. Although, the estimates apply to England, similar methods could be used in other countries. The methods could be extended to dynamic models to synthesize, and assess the consistency of data on contact and transmission rates.

This is a follow-up study of people who were involved in bomb explosions in two Birmingham public houses in November 1974, but were not seriously injured. One hundred and sixteen people were conveyed to hospital, registered, given casualty treatment and allowed home that evening. A small sub-sample of these survivors were visited at home two years after the disaster and the clinical characteristics were observed; the social and symptomatic disturbances were greater than expected. Work records of these survivors before and after the explosion were compared with matched outpatient casualties. On comparing disturbance to employment for the two groups, the bomb victims showed much greater incapacity.

Urine Specimens

Danish male military recruits (n = 388) were included in a follow-up study to investigate the prevalence and persistence of asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis infections. Urine specimens were collected at enrolment and after approximately six months. C. trachomatis was detected by polymerase chain reaction (Amplicor, Roche). Questionnaires were filled out concerning sexual behaviour and clinical symptoms. The prevalence of asymptomatic C. trachomatis in Danish male military recruits was 4.6% (18 out of 388). From five C. trachomatis-positive men no follow-up sample was obtained. From the remaining 13 C. trachomatis-positive men four (31%) were treated for C. trachomatis between the two visits (outside the study protocol). Of the remaining nine men, one cleared the infection and eight men (89%) had a persistent infection. The number of lifetime sexual partners was associated with the presence of C. trachomatis at enrolment. Although based on small numbers, this follow-up study shows, in contrast to women with asymptomatic C. trachomatis infections, a high percentage of C. trachomatis persistence in asymptomatically infected males.
