摘要
Background Patients with suspected mpox presented to different venues for evaluation during the 2022 outbreak. We hypothesized that practice patterns may differ across venue of care.Methods We conducted an observational study of patients undergoing mpox testing between 1 June 2022 and 15 December 2022. We assessed concomitant sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, sexual history, and anogenital examination and a composite outcome of all 3, stratified by site. Venue of care was defined as ED (emergency department or urgent care), ID (infectious disease clinic), or PCP (primary care or other outpatient clinic).Results Of 276 patients included, more than half (62.7%) were evaluated in the ED. Sexual history, anogenital examination, and STI testing were documented as performed at a higher rate in ID clinic compared to ED or PCP settings. STIs were diagnosed in 20.4% of patients diagnosed with mpox; syphilis was the most common STI among patients diagnosed with mpox (17.5%). Patients evaluated in an ID clinic had higher odds ratio of completing all 3 measures (adjusted odds ratio, 3.6 [95% confidence interval, 1.4-9.3]) compared to PCP setting adjusted for age, gender, and men who have sex with men status. Cisgender men who have sex with men, transgender males, and transgender females had higher odds ratio of completing all 3 measures compared to cisgender females (adjusted odds ratio, 4.0 [95% confidence interval, 1.9-8.4]) adjusted for age and venue of care.Conclusions Care varied across clinical sites. ID clinics performed a more thorough evaluation than other venues. Rates of STI coinfection were high. Syphilis was the most common STI. Efforts to standardize care are important to ensure optimal outcomes for patients. Evaluation of patients with suspected mpox differed by care site. Coinfection with STI was common among patients tested for mpox and syphilis was the most frequent STI diagnosed. MSM status was associated with completion of guideline concordant care.
