A retrospective review of 400 cases of genital chlamydia managed with a traditional clinic follow-up was compared to 400 cases with a telephone follow-up appointment. We satisfactorily treated more patients with the telephone follow-up appointment than with a traditional clinic follow-up (204 [51%] vs 121 [30%]; P<0.0001). We also satisfactorily treated more partners with the telephone follow-up system than a traditional clinic appointment system (0.57 vs 0.45 contacts per case; P=0.0006). The introduction of the telephone follow-up appointment system in the clinic increased the number of patients and contacts of patients successfully managed for genital chlamydial infection. Our findings should lead to increased research and adoption of different methods of follow-up and help develop proper outcome standards.
