Trends in Adolescent and Young Adult Hospitalization for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
AYAs hospitalized with PID experienced more severe disease, suggesting delayed diagnosis and treatment. Stable AYA admissions, despite a declining rate in adults, may reflect barriers to care and disruptions in reproductive healthcare services-particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Improved screening, early intervention, and adolescent-centered sexual health services are needed to reduce disease severity and unnecessary hospitalizations.
