In BJOG, the study from Australia analysed the cost-effectiveness of chlamydia screening for selective screening of those at higher risk of contracting the infection, all pregnant women between 16 and 25 and no screening at all.
In the UK, NICE does not recommend screening as part of routine antenatal care.
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, with prevalence rates ranging from 3% to 14% among pregnant women aged 16 to 25 years in Australia.
Data shows that implementing a screening programme where all pregnant women aged 16 to 25 years received a chlamydia test as part of their routine antenatal care would cost £767 for every additional chlamydia case detected and treated.
However, it could avoid much larger costs associated with complications of undetected chlamydia.
