Results generated from logistic regression models accounting for clustering by hospital. Testing included testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and pregnancy if female. Prophylaxis included treatment of chlamydia and gonorrhea and emergency contraception if female. The year the patient was discharged from the ED (2004 to 2013) was included as a continuous variable.
