Real-world clinical burden of patients presenting with vaginitis symptoms in the United States
This study demonstrated that vaginitis poses a high clinical burden in the US, possibly attributed to low diagnostic testing rates, use of tests with poor performance, and high rates of empiric treatment. There is an unmet need for rapid, accurate vaginitis diagnostic testing at the point-of-care to reduce empiric prescribing and improve diagnostic and treatment accuracy and efficiency.
