Our OB/GYN department agreed to use the alternate protocol, i.e. tx only of those patients with identifiable high risk factors, rather than the culture method. We did some local evaluation that suggested we would have to treat 27% of all our patients with prenatal care if we had chosen the culture method. Only 14% will require antibiotics with the alternate method, and, of course, practically all no-prenatal-care patients would require them with either protocol.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
