摘要：Introduction: Notification rates of sexually transmittedinfections (STIs) have increased in New SouthWales as elsewhere in Australia. Understandingtrends in chlamydia and gonorrhoea notificationsat smaller geographical areas may assist publichealth efforts to deliver targeted STI interventions.Methods: Routinely collected disease notificationdata from 2 local health districts within the greaterWestern Sydney area were analysed. De-identifiednotifications of gonorrhoea and chlamydia wereextracted for people aged over 15 years duringthe period 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2013.Sex-specific and age-specific population notificationrates for each infection were calculated.Incidence rate ratios were also calculated with agegroup, sex, year and local government area (LGA)of residence as explanatory variables.
