Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).2018.The and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network conducts active surveillance of ASD. This report focuses on the prevalence characteristics ASD among children aged 8 years in 2018 whose parents or guardians lived 11 ADDM sites United States (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin). To ascertain years, staff review abstract developmental evaluations records from community...
Previous reports of COVID-19 case, hospitalization, and death rates by vaccination status
The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sublineage XBB was first detected in the United States August 2022.* together with a sublineage, XBB.1.5, accounted for >50% of sequenced lineages Northeast by December 31, 2022, and 52% nationwide as January 21, 2023. COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) can vary variant; reduced VE has been observed against some variants, although this is dependent on health outcome interest. goal U.S. vaccination program to prevent severe disease, including hospitalization death (1);...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
CDC has used national genomic surveillance since December 2020 to monitor SARS-CoV-2 variants that have emerged throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, including Omicron variant. This report summarizes U.S. trends in variant proportions from during January 2022-May 2023. During this period, remained predominant, with various descendant lineages reaching predominance (>50% prevalence). first half of 2022, BA.1.1 reached by week ending 8, followed BA.2 (March 26), BA.2.12.1 (May 14), and BA.5 (July...
On September 1, 2022, CDC recommended an updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccine booster to help restore waning protection conferred by previous vaccination and broaden against emerging variants for persons aged ≥12 years (subsequently extended ≥6 months).*To assess the impact of original (monovalent) vaccines bivalent boosters, case mortality rate ratios (RRs) were estimated comparing unvaccinated vaccinated overall receipt time since (monovalent or bivalent) during Delta variant Omicron...
Abstract While some studies have previously estimated lives saved by COVID-19 vaccination, we estimate how many deaths could been averted vaccination in the US but were not because of a failure to vaccinate. We used simple method based on nationally representative dataset preventable among unvaccinated individuals from May 30, 2021 September 3, 2022 adjusted for effects age and time. that at least 232,000 prevented adults during 15 months had they vaccinated with primary series....
Caregivers provide support to persons who might otherwise require placement in long-term care facilities. Approximately one five U.S. adults provides family members or friends have a chronic health condition disability. Promoting the well-being of this large segment population is public priority as recognized by 2022 National Strategy Support Family Caregivers. Although negative associations between caregiving and caregiver are known, changes status caregivers over time not. Data from...
Monitoring emerging SARS-CoV-2 lineages and their epidemiologic characteristics helps to inform public health decisions regarding vaccine policy, the use of therapeutics, care capacity. When Alpha variant emerged in late 2020, a spike gene (S-gene) deletion (Δ69-70) N-terminal region, which might compensate for immune escape mutations that impair infectivity (1), resulted reduced or failed S-gene target amplification certain multitarget reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
Effective methods to assess mental disorders in children are necessary for accurate prevalence estimates and monitor over time. This study assessed updates of the tic disorder attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD) modules Diagnostic Interview Schedule Children, Version 5 (DISC-5) that reflect changes diagnostic criteria Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (Fifth edition, DSM-5). The DISC-5 ADHD parent- child-report were compared expert clinical assessment 100 aged 6–17 years (40 with alone,...
Background SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants have the potential to impact vaccine effectiveness and duration of vaccine-derived immunity. We analyzed U.S. multi-jurisdictional COVID-19 breakthrough surveillance data examine waning protection against infection for Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b) primary vaccination series by age. Methods Weekly numbers infections during January 16, 2022–May 28, 2022 were age group from 22 jurisdictions that routinely linked case immunization data. A life table approach...
Abstract With the growing proportion of older adults in US population, both number persons who will need care and for family caregivers increase. Previous studies have found most to be middle-aged or adults, but due a widening gap needs available, importance younger adult is growing. This analysis uses Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from optional Caregiver Module administered 2021-2022 47 states Puerto Rico. We described health characteristics young aged 18-34 (n=45,627), we...
Abstract Support services for caregivers are important community health tools that can help address equity. Many report support as unavailable, and understanding the characteristics of these could identify who benefit from greater availability or accessibility. Caregivers were identified in 2023 Summer ConsumerStyles U.S. adults (n=437) 2022 Estilos US Hispanic (n=122). Availability use seven assessed (out-of-home services, in-home food nutrition transportation financial planning, caregiver...
Abstract The U.S. population is aging. Some degree of cognitive change expected as a natural part healthy Understanding the prevalence potential impairments in community-based samples necessary for prioritization public health efforts. We analyzed Montreal Cognitive Assessment Survey Adaptation (MoCA-SA) data from 2019-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES). full MoCA-SA was administered to convenience sample 1,123 individuals aged ≥60 years. Excluding incomplete inventories...
Abstract While some studies have previously estimated lives saved by COVID-19 vaccination, we estimate how many deaths could been averted vaccination in the US but were not because of a failure to be vaccinated. We used simple method based on nationally representative dataset preventable among unvaccinated individuals U.S. from May 30, 2021 April 2022 adjusted for effects age and time. that at least 215,000 prevented adults during 11 months had they vaccinated with primary series. more...
