Pregnant women living in or traveling to areas with local mosquito-borne Zika virus transmission are at risk for infection, which can lead severe fetal and infant brain abnormalities microcephaly (1). In February 2016, CDC recommended 1) routine testing infection of asymptomatic pregnant ongoing the first prenatal care visit, 2) retesting during second trimester who initially test negative, 3) signs symptoms consistent disease (e.g., fever, rash, arthralgia, conjunctivitis) any time...
Campylobacter is a common but decreasing cause of foodborne infections in the USA. Outbreaks are uncommon and have historically differed from sporadic cases seasonality contamination source. We reviewed reported outbreaks campylobacteriosis. From 1997 to 2008, 262 were reported, with 9135 illnesses, 159 hospitalizations, three deaths. The annual mean was 16 for 1997-2002, 28 2003-2008. Almost half occurred warmer months. Foodborne transmission 225 (86%) outbreaks, water 24 (9%), animal...
In 2011, critical congenital heart disease was added to the US Recommended Uniform Screening Panel for newborns, but whether state implementation of screening policies has been associated with infant death rates is unknown.To assess there an association between newborn and rates.Observational study group-level analyses. A difference-in-differences analysis conducted using National Center Health Statistics' period linked birth/infant data set files 2007-2013 26 546 503 births through June 30,...
Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) was added to the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel for Newborns in United States 2011. Many states have recently adopted or are considering requirements universal CCHD screening through pulse oximetry birth hospitals. Limited previous research is directly applicable question of how many US infants with might be identified screening.To estimate proportion late detection (>3 days after birth) based on existing clinical practice and investigate factors...
Disease outbreaks associated with drinking water drawn from untreated groundwater sources represent a substantial proportion (30.3%) of the 818 reported to CDC's Waterborne and Outbreak Surveillance System (WBDOSS) during 1971 2008. The objectives this study were identify underlying contributing factors, suggest improvements for data collection outbreaks, inform outbreak prevention efforts. Two researchers independently reviewed all qualifying reports (1971 2008), assigned factors abstracted...
In the United States, major structural or genetic birth defects affect approximately 3% of live births (1) and are responsible for 20% infant deaths (2). Birth can persons across their lifespan cause significant lifelong disabilities. CDC used Healthcare Cost Utilization Project (HCUP) 2013 National Inpatient Sample (NIS), a stratified sample discharges from nonfederal community hospitals, to estimate annual cost defect-associated hospitalizations in both all ages by age group. had...
In Colombia, approximately 105,000 suspected cases of Zika virus disease (diagnosed based on clinical symptoms, regardless laboratory confirmation) were reported during August 9, 2015-November 12, 2016, including nearly 20,000 in pregnant women (1,2). infection pregnancy is a known cause microcephaly and serious congenital brain abnormalities has been associated with other birth defects related to central nervous system damage (3). Colombia's Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS) maintains...
In 2011, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services recommended universal screening newborns for critical congenital heart defects (CCHDs), yet few estimates number infants with CCHDs likely to be detected through exist. Our objective was estimate nonsyndromic in United States (true positives) missed (false negatives) newborn CCHD screening.We developed a simulation model based on birth prevalence, prenatal diagnosis, late detection, sensitivity pulse oximetry true-positive false-negative...
CDC has updated its interim guidance for U.S. health care providers caring pregnant women with possible Zika virus exposure, to include the emerging data indicating that RNA can be detected prolonged periods in some women. To increase proportion of infection who receive a definitive diagnosis, recommends expanding real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) testing. Possible exposures travel or residence an area active transmission, sex* partner traveled resides...
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial in pregnancy. Known risk factors for UTI pregnancy include diabetes and certain urologic conditions. Other maternal characteristics might also be associated with could provide clues to etiology of Our objective was identify Materials Methods: We used data from pregnant women participating National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a population-based study major structural birth defects 10 U.S. sites, 1997 2011. In...
Background. Little is known about the occurrence of Q fever among veterinarians in United States. In this study, we sought to estimate prevalence Coxiella burnetii antibodies and identify risk factors for exposure.
Health insurance claims are a rich data source to examine medication use in pregnancy. Our objective was identify pregnant women, their pregnancy outcomes, and date of last menstrual period (LMP), estimate antidepressant dispensations pregnancy.From literature search, we identified diagnosis procedure codes indicating the end Using Truven MarketScan® Commercial Claims Encounters Databases, all inpatient admissions outpatient service with these codes. We developed an algorithm assign: (1)...
Previous studies noted associations between birth defects and some antibiotics (e.g., nitrofurantoin, sulfonamides) but not others penicillins). It is unclear if previous findings were due to antibiotic use, infections, or chance. To control for potential confounding by indication, we examined use defects, among women reporting urinary tract infections (UTIs).The National Birth Defects Prevention Study a multi-site, population-based case-control study. Case infants/fetuses have any of over...
From 2004 to 2014, the incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in United States increased 433%, from 1.5 8.0 per 1,000 hospital births. The latest national data 2014 indicate that one baby was born with signs NAS every 15 minutes (1). is a drug withdrawal most commonly occurs among infants after utero exposure opioids, although other substances have also been associated NAS. Prenatal opioid has poor fetal growth, preterm birth, stillbirth, and possible specific birth defects (2-5)....
ABSTRACT Objectives Congenital heart defects (CHDs) occur in nearly 1% of live births. We sought to assess factors associated with prenatal CHD diagnosis the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS). Methods analyzed data from mothers CHD‐affected pregnancies 1998 2005. Prenatal was defined as affirmative responses questions about abnormal ultrasounds and fetal echocardiography obtained during a structured telephone interview. Results Fifteen percent (1097/7299) women (excluding...
Background When making decisions about medication use in pregnancy, women consult many information sources, including the Internet. The aim of this study was to assess content publicly accessible YouTube videos that discuss pregnancy. Methods Using 2023 distinct combinations search terms related medications and we extracted metadata from using a video Application Programming Interface. Relevant were defined as those with term pregnancy-related either title or description. We viewed relevant...
Birth defects are a leading cause of infant mortality in the United States, accounting for 20.6% deaths 2017 (1). Rates attributable to birth (IMBD) have generally declined since 1970s (1-3). U.S. linked birth/infant death data from 2003-2017 were used assess trends IMBD. Overall, rates 10% during 2003-2017, but decreases varied by maternal and characteristics. During IMBD decreased 4% infants Hispanic mothers, 11% non-Hispanic black (black) 12% white (white) mothers. In 2017, these highest...
Pregnancy is a condition of broad interest across many medical and health services research domains, but one not easily identified in healthcare claims data. Our objective was to establish an algorithm identify pregnant women their pregnancies We pregnancy-related diagnosis, procedure, diagnosis-related group codes, accounting for the transition International Statistical Classification Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) diagnosis procedure encounter reporting on...
