We summarized baseline demographic characteristics for all patients and further stratified the demographic characteristics by specific STI testing during the study period. We performed Chi-Square tests to determine whether differences observed were likely due to chance. We applied the standardization to the monthly and annual rates of STI tests. Direct age adjustment was based on using the reference U.S. age distribution per the U.S. Census 2020 data for the study period.
