This study proposes a redesign of the STI surveillance system using expert consultation. After reviewing major STIs, the Delphi method selected gonorrhea, chancroid, Mycoplasma genitalium infection, and trichomoniasis as targets. Experts reached agreement on excluding chancroid due to low incidence and on including M. genitalium with high consensus. Disagreement remained regarding trichomoniasis inclusion and whether gonorrhea should move to mandatory

the health and well-being of individuals in society. The purpose of this study was to propose a redesign of the STI surveillance system by collecting opinions from experts. Methods: After the major STIs were reviewed, 1) gonorrhea, 2) chancroid, 3)Mycoplasma genitalium infection, and 4) trichomoniasis were selected as diseases requiring a redesign ofthe surveillance system through the Delphi method, a technique for solving problems by collecting opinions from experts. The expert panel was selected from experts on STIs (n = 17) and included members of the Korean Association of Urogenital Tract Infection and Inflammation, the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases, and the 3rd advisory committee on STIs.  \nResults: The experts agreed upon the exclusion of surveillance for chancroid on the basis of the low incidence, with an agreement rate of 83% . The experts agreed upon the inclusion of M. genitaliumin the surveillance system, with a high agreement rate of 88%. However, there was disagreement among the experts on whether to include trichomoniasis in the surveillance system and whether to switch to a mandatory surveillance system for gonorrhea. Conclusion: Although a consensus was not reached in some of the surveys in this study, it involved the col","cbCairmyvix5LDZu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairmyvix5LDZu","pdf",944453,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n# Introduction\n# Funding\n# Disclosure\n# Author Contributions","[{\"question\":\"What was the main goal of this study?\",\"answer\":\"To propose a redesign of the STI surveillance system by collecting opinions from experts at the national level.\"},{\"question\":\"Which STIs were selected for surveillance redesign using the Delphi method?\",\"answer\":\"Gonorrhea, chancroid, Mycoplasma genitalium infection, and trichomoniasis were selected for redesign discussions.\"},{\"question\":\"What agreements did experts reach in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Experts agreed to exclude surveillance for chancroid due to low incidence (83%) and agreed to include M. genitalium with a high agreement rate (88%).\"},{\"question\":\"Where did experts disagree?\",\"answer\":\"Experts disagreed on whether trichomoniasis should be included and whether gonorrhea should transition to a mandatory surveillance system.\"}]","Expert Consensus Study on the Redesign of the Sexually Transmitted Infection Surveillance System in Korea | PDF",1790726598,23]
