[Compliance with the partner notification of HIV/STI patients in the counties of Lleida].

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The partner notification is one of the main activities of epidemiological surveillance in Public Health. The primary objective was to estimate the compliance of the partner notification by health professionals who reported sexually transmitted diseases (HIV, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis and Chlamydia) during 2017 in Lleida's regions. METHODS:We carried out a descriptive epidemiological study of prevalence about the compliance of partner notification. Data collection was done by epidemiological surveys of these notifiable diseases and additional information was recovered through medical record and interview with professionals. The factors associated with the lack of partner notification were studied through the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). ORs were adjusted (ORa) with multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS:We studied 203 STD cases with an average age of 30.6 years (SD=11.1); 32.5% were women. There was 46.3% without partner notification. The main cause of this absence was the lack of patient cooperation (23.4%). The variables associated with the lack of partner notification were the male sex (aOR-3.5; CI95%=1.6-7.5), gonococcal infection (aOR-4.9; CI95%=1.2-19.8), chlamydia infection (aOR-3.9; CI95%=0.9-16.1) and homosexual/bisexual sexual orientation (aOR-2.2; CI95%=0.9-5.4). CONCLUSIONS:Compliance of partner notification is low and it is related to male sex, sexual orientation (homosexual/bisexual/transsexual) and type of infection (Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia). Reducing the social stigma associated with sexual orientation and improving the information of health professionals could favour the contact studies. OBJETIVO:El estudio de contactos constituye una de las principales actividades de vigilancia epidemiológica en salud pública. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue estimar el grado de su cumplimiento por parte de los profesionales que informaron sobre las infecciones de transmisión sexual (VIH/gonococia/sífilis/clamidia) en el año 2017 en las comarcas de Lleida. METODOS:Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de prevalencia sobre el cumplimiento del estudio de contactos. Se recogió la información de las encuestas epidemiológicas de las enfermedades citadas y se recuperó información de la realización del estudio de contactos mediante las historias clínicas y el contacto con los profesionales. Se estudiaron los factores asociados a la falta de estudio de contactos mediante un modelo multivariado de regresión logística y el cálculo de la odds ratio ajustada (ORa), con sus intervalos de confianza (IC) del 95%. RESULTADOS:Se estudiaron 203 casos de ITS, con una edad media de 30,6 años (±11,1). El 32,5% eran mujeres. El porcentaje de casos diagnosticados sin estudio de contactos fue del 46,3%, causado principalmente por la falta de colaboración del paciente (23,4%). Las variables asociadas a la falta de estudio de contactos fueron el sexo masculino (ORa=3,5; IC95%=1,6–7,5), la infección gonocócica (ORa=4,9; IC95%=1,2-19,8), la infección por clamidia (ORa=3,9; IC95%=0,9-16,1) y la orientación sexual homosexual/bisexual (ORa=2,2; IC 95%=0,9-5,4). CONCLUSIONES:El cumplimiento de los estudios de contactos es bajo y se relaciona con el sexo masculino, la orientación sexual (homosexual/bisexual) y el tipo de infección (gonococia/clamidia). Reducir el estigma asociado a la orientación sexual y mejorar la información de los profesionales podría favorecer su correcto cumplimiento.
