Abstract

A cohort study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the Syndromic Management for the reduction of complications produced by Sexually Transmitted Infections was conducted in San Cristobal municipality during both, January 2005 and December 2006. The sample was comprised of the total of patients requesting medical assistance for presenting urethral discharge, vaginal discharge and/or low-abdominal pain during this period of time. Data were collected by means of surveys, charge-sheet and hospital registers. Percentage calculation, rate and statistical significance testing were applied when proceeding. Concluding that, at the beginning of the research a greater percent of doctors had a low level of knowledge about this topic. Acute Pelvic Inflammatory Disease was the most frequent complication found before and after the study; being noticeable the reduction of all these pathologies when the study was concluded. The majority of the patients included in the cohort-A (95, 8%) solved the symptoms before seven days after the treatment.
