Background
Syphilis rates have increased substantially nationwide, disproportionately affecting marginalized populations and individuals with differing patterns of healthcare utilization. The Hampton Roads region of Virginia and North Carolina includes multiple jurisdictions with syphilis rates above the CDC screening threshold, with 7 of its 9 independent cities meeting this criterion. However, no prior study has examined the relationship between emergency department (ED) utilization patterns and documented syphilis diagnoses in this region.
Methods
A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of the Sentara Healthcare network was conducted using aggregate data from the TriNetX platform. Patients diagnosed with syphilis between 2023 and 2024 were stratified by …

Objective
We aimed to estimate the causal effect of treatment for genital Mycoplasma species on preterm birth (PTB) and spontaneous abortion (SA). We also evaluated treatment effects separately for cases with co-infection of Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma species.
Methods
This was a retrospective observational cohort study at a single center. Singleton mothers with one or more risk factors for PTBs were screened and treated for genital Mycoplasma species. The treatment was repeated based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results after each course. We applied inverse probability treatment weighting, and risk differences (RDs) of the treatment effect on pregnancy outcomes were estimated …
