Patient and Provider Demographics and the Management of Genitourinary Tract Infections in the Emergency Department.

In our multivariate analyses, we did not observe that the patient's race resulted in significant differences in the diagnosis of UTIs with bacteriuria ≥10,000 CFU/mL or differences in the empiric treatment of gonorrhea and chlamydia infections among those tested for the infection in the ED. The patient's age and marital status, but not the provider's sex, were significantly associated with differences in the management of gonorrhea and chlamydia.
