摘要: Idaho Chlamydia trachomatis-Neisseria gonorrhoeae specimens from July 2009 were pooled by stratified specimen pooling, an approach that removes high-risk the pooling population and pools low-risk to maximize efficiency. This reduced pool positivity rates 8%, repeated tests 9%, saved 47.4% in direct costs.
