title: Suboptimal Prenatal Syphilis Testing Among Commercially Insured Women in the United States, 2013.
abstract: United States surveillance data demonstrate that congenital syphilis cases are increasing. We performed an analysis of commercially insured pregnant females using MarketSan to determine syphilis screening rates at different prenatal stages; 85% of pregnant women in this population had a syphilis test performed at least once during the prenatal period.
