What is the cost of pelvic inflammatory disease and how much could be prevented by screening for chlamydia?

Data from a study of the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and healthcare behaviour were used to estimate the cost of managing PID and the potential impact of chlamydia screening. We found that the average cost of managing PID was £163 in community and hospital settings, and that over £60,000 could be saved in London alone from screening for chlamydia.
