Background: Pregnancy identification and follow-up surveillance can enhance the reporting of pregnancy outcomes, including stillbirths and perinatal and early postnatal mortality. This paper reviews pregnancy surveillance methods used in Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSSs) in low- and middle-income countries. Methods: We searched articles containing information about pregnancy identification methods used in HDSSs published between January 2002 and October 2019 using PubMed and Google Scholar. A total of 37 articles were included through literature review and 22 additional articles were identified via manual search of references. We reviewed the gray literature, including websites, online reports, data collection instruments, and HDSS protocols from the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Study (CHAMPS) Network and the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health (INDEPTH). In total, we reviewed information from 52 HDSSs described in 67 sources. Results: Substantial variability exists in pregnancy surveillance approaches across the 52 HDSSs, and surveillance methods are not always clearly documented. 42% of HDSSs applied restrictions based on residency duration to identify who should be included in surveillance. Most commonly, eligible individuals resided in the demographic surveillance area (DSA) for at least three months. 44% of the HDSSs restricted eligibility for pregnancy surveillance based on a woman’s age, with most only monitoring women 15-49 years. 10% had eligibility criteria based on marital status, while 11% explicitly included unmarried women in pregnancy surveillance. 38% allowed proxy respondents to answer questions about a woman’s pregnancy status in her absence. 20% of HDSSs supplemented pregnancy surveillance with investigations by community health workers or key informants and by linking HDSS data with data from antenatal clinics. Conclusions: Methodological guidelines for conducting pregnancy surveillance should be clearly documented and meticulously implemented, as they can have implications for data quality and accurately informing maternal and child health programs.

Surveillance systems have been described as the nerve cells of public health with afferent arms receiving information, cell bodies analysing the information and efferent arms initiating appropriate action or further distribution of information [1]. Increasing numbers of scientific publications on the methodology and evaluation of surveillance systems seem to underline the importance of surveillance systems in public health. The most often cited references in these publications appear to be the definition of public health surveillance by Thacker and Berkelman [2] and variations thereof, and the recommendations for evaluating surveillance systems from 1988 [3] and its update from 2002 written by working groups at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States[4].

SUMMARYDisease surveillance programmes ought to be evaluated regularly to ensure they provide valuable information in an efficient manner. Evaluation of human and animal health surveillance programmes around the world is currently not standardized and therefore inconsistent. The aim of this systematic review was to review surveillance system attributes and the methods used for their assessment, together with the strengths and weaknesses of existing frameworks for evaluating surveillance in animal health, public health and allied disciplines. Information from 99 articles describing the evaluation of 101 surveillance systems was examined. A wide range of approaches for assessing 23 different system attributes was identified although most evaluations addressed only one or two attributes and comprehensive evaluations were uncommon. Surveillance objectives were often not stated in the articles reviewed and so the reasons for choosing certain attributes for assessment were not always apparent. This has the potential to introduce misleading results in surveillance evaluation. Due to the wide range of system attributes that may be assessed, methods should be explored which collapse these down into a small number of grouped characteristics by focusing on the relationships between attributes and their links to the objectives of the surveillance system and the evaluation. A generic and comprehensive evaluation framework could then be developed consisting of a limited number of common attributes together with several sets of secondary attributes which could be selected depending on the disease or range of diseases under surveillance and the purpose of the surveillance. Economic evaluation should be an integral part of the surveillance evaluation process. This would provide a significant benefit to decision-makers who often need to make choices based on limited or diminishing resources.

Full textAbstract:
Google Trends (GT) is a useful real-time surveillance tool for epidemic outbreaks such as monkeypox (Mpox). GT provides hour-by-hour (real-time) data for the last seven days of Google searches. Non-real-time data are a random sample that encompasses search trends from 2004 and up to 72 h. Google Health Trends (GHT) API extracts daily raw search probabilities relative to the time period and size of the underlying population. However, little is known about the utility of GT real-time surveillance and GHT API following the public health announcements. Thus, this study aimed to analyzed Mpox GT real-time, non-real-time, and GHT API data 72 h before and after the WHO declared Mpox a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) in the top five Mpox-affected countries. Joinpoint regression was used to measure hourly percentage changes (HPC) in search volume. The WHO PHEIC statement on Mpox generated 18,225.6 per 10 million Google searches in the U.S. and Germany (946.8), and in 0–4 h, the HPC increased by an average of 103% (95% CI: 37.4–200.0). This study showed the benefits of real-time surveillance and the GHT API for monitoring online demand for information on emerging infectious diseases such as Mpox.

Recent advances in information and communication technologies have made the development and operation of complex disease surveillance systems technically feasible, and many systems have been proposed to interpret diverse data sources for health-related signals. Implementing these systems for daily use and efficiently interpreting their output, however, remains a technical challenge. This thesis presents a method for understanding disease surveillance systems structurally, examines four existing systems, and discusses the implications of developing such systems. The discussion is followed by two papers. The first paper describes the design of a national outbreak detection system for daily disease surveillance. It is currently in use at the Swedish Institute for Communicable Disease Control. The source code has been licenced under GNU v3 and is freely available. The second paper discusses methodological issues in computational epidemiology, and presents the lessons learned from a software development project in which a spatially explicit micro-meso-macro model for the entire Swedish population was built based on registry data.QC 20110520

Full textAbstract:
Falls can lead to unintentional injuries and possibly death, making falls an important public health problem in terms of related health care cost, incurred disabilities, and years of life lost. Approximately 1 in every 3 Americans ages 65 years and older is at risk of falling at least once every year. Children, young adults, and middle-aged adults are also vulnerable to falls. The purpose of this study was to examine the epidemiology of falls and fall-related injuries using surveillance data from nationally representative samples of hospital emergency departments in United States. The study was guided by a social-ecological model on the premise that multiple levels of risk factors affect health. Using a cross-sectional study and archival data from NEISS-AIP between 2009 and 2011, the result of multiple logistic regression indicated that age, gender, race and body part affected were significantly associated with hospitalization due to falls (p < .001) and incident locale independently predicted hospitalization due to falls in which hospitalization due to falls was considered a proxy measure of fall severity. The odds in each of the groups for fall injuries were (a) older adults versus children, 1.07 (95% CI: 1.05-1.08); (b) males versus females, 1.23 (95% CI: 1.21-1.26); (c) Blacks versus Whites, 2.12 (95% CI: 2.11-2.13); (d) body part extremities versus head area, 0.98 (95% CI: 0.97-0.99); and (e) outside home versus inside home, 1.14 (95% CI: 1.13-1.15). The results of this study may be important in forming and implementing age-specific prevention strategies and specialized safety training programs for all age groups, thereby reducing deaths, disabilities, and considerable health care cost associated with hospitalization due to fall-related injuries.

Introdução: Dados da Organização Mundial da Saúde apontam a intoxicação como um importante problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo, especialmente em países subdesenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento. Objetivos: estimar a taxa de mortalidade e descrever os óbitos por intoxicação exógena (IE) no município de São Paulo (MSP) no ano de 2014. Métodos: Utilizaram-se as informações dos registros dos óbitos (causa básica) no Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Para o relacionamento probabilístico foram selecionadas as variáveis: nome, data de nascimento e sexo. Foram utilizados os softwares OpenRecLink para o linkage, Stata® para análise de dados e o TabWin para a distribuição espacial dos óbitos por IE. Os óbitos foram descritos em relação às características do local de ocorrência, circunstância da exposição, grupo do agente tóxico e classificação final. Foi utilizado o método de captura-recaptura para estimar o número de óbitos, após o relacionamento dos bancos de dados. Resultados: Os dados do SIM apontaram para uma taxa de mortalidade por IE de 5,2/100.000 habitantes no MSP, em 2014. O distrito administrativo de São Miguel apresentou a maior taxa de mortalidade 12,2/100.000 habitantes. A maior parte dos óbitos (n=412) foi atestada por médico do IML. O sexo masculino foi o que apresentou maior frequência (71 por cento ). A faixa etária de maior mortalidade foi a de 20 a 39 anos. Foi possível identificar uma grande diferença entre o número de óbitos por intoxicação registrado no SIM (n=596) e o estimado (n=1.514,5) pelo método de captura-recaptura. A taxa de mortalidade estimada pelo método de capturarecaptura foi de 13,2/100.000 habitantes. Dessa forma identificou-se um sub-registro de óbito de 60,6 por cento . Conclusões: Os resultados mostram que a mortalidade por IE é subestimada quando comparada a calculada a partir da captura-recaptura de dados. O relacionamento das bases de dados é importante para estimar a magnitude da ocorrência dos óbitos por IE. Há a necessidade de formulação de políticas públicas voltadas à prática da vigilância das intoxicações, qualificação dos profissionais da assistência à saúde para o diagnóstico das IE e capacitação aos responsáveis pelo registro dos casosBackground: Data from the World Health Organization indicates poisoning as a major public health problem worldwide, especially in underdeveloped or developing countries. Objective: to estimate the mortality rate and to describe deaths from exogenous poisoning (EP) in São Paulo city in the year 2014. Methods: Data from the death records (basic cause) were collected in the Mortality Information System (MIS) and in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (NDIS). For the probabilistic relationship the following variables were selected: name, date of birth and gender. OpenRecLink software was used for linkage, Stata® for data analysis and TabWin for spatial distribution of deaths by EP. Deaths were described in relation to the characteristics of the place of occurrence, exposure circumstance, toxic agent group and final classification. The capture-recapture method was used to estimate the number of deaths, after the linkage of the databases. Results: The MIS data pointed to a mortality rate by EP of 5,2/100.000 inhabitants in São Paulo city in 2014. São Miguel administrative district presented the highest mortality rate 12,2/100.000 inhabitants. Most part of the deaths (n=412) were attested by IML doctor. The male gender was the one with the highest frequency (71 per cent ). The age group with the highest incidence was 20 to 39 years. It was possible to identify a large difference between the number of intoxication deaths recorded in the MIS (n=596) and the estimated (n=1.514,5) by the capture-recapture method. The mortality rate estimated by the capture-recapture method was 13,2/100.000 inhabitants. In this way, a 60,6 per cent underreporting of death was identified. Conclusions: The obtained results show that the mortality by EP is underestimated when compared to the calculated from the capture-recapture data. The linkage of databases is important to estimate the magnitude of the occurrence of death by EP. There is a need for formulation of public policies aimed at the practice of poisoning surveillance, qualification of health care professionals for the EP diagnosis and training of those responsible for case registration

O acesso universal aos serviços de saúde e terapia antirretroviral foram importantes no aumento da sobrevida de pessoas vivendo com HIV/AIDS (PVHA). A incidência de comorbidades crônicas, porém, aumentou proporcionalmente. Considerando a epidemia de AIDS no RS, especialmente em Porto Alegre, é preciso investigar a sobrevida de PVHA no contexto local, especialmente entre coinfectados HIV/Tuberculose. Dados foram obtidos pelo relacionamento dos bancos SIM e SINAN 2007-2012. Foi utilizado o modelo de regressão de COX para obter o hazard ratio, o método de Kaplan-Meier para estimativas de sobrevida O banco compreendeu 1800 casos notificados em 2007. Correspondem a 60% homens, brancos em sua maioria (67%), com mediana de idade igual a 37 anos (AIQ=14), a maioria dos casos possui baixa escolaridade. Cerca de 70% adquiriu a doença via transmissão sexual. Comparados aos casos notificados por critério óbito, os óbitos totais tem maior proporção de indivíduos de raça/cor preta (46,1% e 32,5%, respectivamente) e maior freqüência de indivíduos do sexo masculino (40,0% e 27,8%, respectivamente). A proporção de dados incompletos também é maior para a escolaridade (72,1% e 68,7%, respect.), contagem de CD4+ (76% e 68%, respect.). Na análise bivariada a transmissão sanguínea, raça/cor negra e baixa escolaridade foram fatores associados a maior risco de óbito. Sexo feminino e idade acima de 30 anos foram fatores associados a menor risco de óbito por AIDS Raça/cor negra, transmissão do HIV pro via sanguínea, presença de infecção por TB e baixa escolaridade são fatores associados à mortalidade aumentada no modelo multivariado. A sobrevida média foi de 1.495 dias (IC 95% 1449 – 1550). O percentual de dados incompletos sugerem que o relacionamento dimensiona a subnotificação mas não qualifica o processo de vigilância. O Critério Óbito representa a perda de oportunidades de intervenção em eventos preveníveis e pode servir como indicador negativo da vigilância.Universal Access to health services and antiretroviral therapy were crucial in improving the survival or people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). The incidence of cronic comorbidities, however, have proportionally rised. Considering the AIDS epidemics in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, specifically in the city of Porto Alegre, it is important to determine the survival of PLHA in a local context, specially between individuals coinfected with TB. Data were obtained by the linkage of SIM and SINAN databases from 2007-2012. A COX regression model was used for the hazard ratios, and the Kaplan-Meier method in order to determine survival estimates. The resulting database had 1800 cases notified in 2007. Sixty percent were male, mostly of white race (67%), median age of 37 years old (IQR=14), mosto f them had low schooling. Around 70% acquired the vírus through sexual transmission. Compared to the total of cases, those notified by the death criteria have proportionally more individuals of the black race (46,1% and 32,5%, respectively) and more males (40% and 27,8%, respectively). The proportion of incomplete data is also higher for scholarity (72,1% and 68,7% respectively) and CD4+ T lymphocite cell count (76% e 68%, respectively). Blood transmission, black race and low scholarity were associated with a higher risk of death in the bivariate analysis. Female gender and age over 30 years were factors associated with a low risk of AIDS-related death. In the multivariate model black race, blood transmission of the vírus e low scholarity were factors associated with higher mortality. Mean survival was of 1495 days (95% CI 1449 – 1550). The proportion of incomplete data suggests that the linkage scales the underreporting but doesn’t qualify the surveillance process. Death criterion represents missed opportunities of interventions in preventable events, and might serve as negative indicator of the surveillance.

Os Sistemas de Informação em Saúde (SIS) contribuem para identificar problemas individuais e coletivos do quadro sanitário de uma população, propiciando elementos para análise da situação e subsidiando as ações. Por isto são considerados instrumentos de gestão e devem ser utilizados nas práticas de planejamento e execução das ações de vigilância sanitária (VISA) relativas à promoção, proteção e reabilitação da saúde e em sua avaliação. O estudo tem por objetivo descrever a situação da aplicação da informação em saúde no planejamento das ações de vigilância sanitária na gestão municipal. Mais especificamente identificar o grau de conhecimento dos profissionais sobre os SIS e descrever de que maneira os dados são utilizados pelos profissionais no planejamento. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, transversal e observacional, de caráter exploratório e descritivo, que apresenta abordagens quantitativas caracterizadas pela identificação dos dados existentes nos SIS e abordagens qualitativas que incluiram entrevistas com profissionais do setor e a apreciação da rede e da organização dos serviços por meio de análise documental. A análise e a interpretação dos dados são de natureza qualitativa. Os resultados apontam que os profissionais consideram o planejamento das ações de vigilância sanitária deficiente uma vez que não ocorre de maneira periódica, sistemática e uniforme com a utilização do enfoque estratégico situacional. Os entrevistados souberam definir SIS, mas demonstraram pouco conhecimento real dos vários sistemas existentes. Esses disponibilizam dados que dizem respeito à situação de saúde, entretanto a sua utilização não acontece para planejar as ações específicas de VISA, e uma das principais causas apontadas é a falta de conhecimento no manuseio destes sistemas pela equipe.

O objetivo desta investigação foi identificar e analisar fatores preditivos para o resultado favorável de tratamento dos casos de tuberculose pulmonar, diagnosticados no período de 2001 a 2004 e residentes no município de Recife-PE. Inicialmente, foi realizado um estudo exploratório para identificar dados perdidos (brancos, ignorados e inconsistentes) nos dados selecionados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN): ano do diagnóstico; município de residência; desfecho do tratamento; idade; sexo; escolaridade; ocupação; distrito de residência; forma clínica; tipo de entrada; tratamento supervisionado; data diagnóstico, início e encerramento do tratamento; distrito da unidade de saúde; HIV e outros agravos. Observou-se registros em branco nos dados Outros Agravos (42,85%) e Ocupação (82,10%); ignorados, nos dados Escolaridade (39,40%), Outros Agravos (39,73%) e Tratamento Supervisionado (63,96%) e inconsistentes, nos dados Ocupação (2,53%), Data do diagnóstico (0,98%), Data do início do tratamento (9,94%) e Data do encerramento do tratamento (17,66%). Posteriormente, foram identificados e analisados os fatores preditivos ao resultado favorável de tratamento por meio de métodos estatísticos uni e multivariado de regressão logística. Na análise univariada, as variáveis que apresentaram associação foram: sexo; idade; escolaridade; tipo de entrada; tratamento supervisionado; Tempo 1; Tempo 2 e distrito da unidade de saúde. As variáveis que permaneceram no modelo multivariado ajustado final foram: Idade, 0 a 9 anos (OR=4,27; p=0,001) e 10 a 19 anos (OR=1,78; p=0,011) que tiveram maior chance de cura do que mais de 60 anos; Escolaridade, 8 a 11 anos (OR=1,52; p=0,049) que teve maior chance de cura do que nenhuma escolaridade; Tipo de entrada, casos novos (OR=3,31; p<0,001) e recidiva (OR=3,32; p<0,001) que tiveram maior chance de cura do que reingresso pós abandono; Tempo 2, 5 ¾| 6 meses(OR=9,15; p<0,001); 6 ¾| 9 meses (OR=27,28; p<0,001) e Mais de 9 meses (OR=24,78; p<0,001) que tiveram maior chance de cura do que aqueles que o fizeram em tempo menor; Distrito da Unidade de Saúde, DS I (OR=1,60; p=0,018) e DS IV (OR=2,87; p<0,001) que tiveram maior chance de cura do que DS VI. Sugere-se desenvolver nos serviços de saúde uma organização de assistência voltada às necessidades individuais priorizando os grupos com menor chance de cura garantindo a equidade da atenção e conseqüentes transformações nos indicadores epidemiológicos da tuberculose no município de Recife.This study aimed to identify and analyze predictive factors of favorable treatment outcome related to pulmonary tuberculosis cases residing in Recife and diagnosed between 2001 and 2004. Initially, an exploratory study was carried out to identify lost data (blank, unknown and inconsistent) in the selected data in the Reportable Health Events Information System (SINAN): year of diagnosis; city of residence; treatment outcome; age; gender; education level; occupation; district of residence; form; type of entry; Supervised Treatment; date of diagnosis, start and end of treatment; health unit district; HIV and other health problems. Blank registers were found for Other Health Problems (42.85%) and Occupation (82.10%); unknown data were found for Education level (39.40%), Other Health Problems (39.73%) and Supervised Treatment (63.96%); and inconsistent data for Occupation (2.53%), Date of diagnosis (0.98%), Treatment start date (9.94%) and Treatment end date (17.66%). Then, we identified and analyzed predictive factors of favorable treatment outcome by means of uni and multivariate logistic regression methods. In univariate analysis, the following variables were associated with favorable treatment outcome: gender; age; education level; type of entry; supervised treatment; Time 1; Time 2 and health unit district. The variables that remained in the final adjusted multivariate model were: Age, 0 to 9 years (OR=4.27; p=0.001) and 10 to 19 years (OR=1.78; p=0.011) had a greater chance of cure than those older than 60 years; Education, 8 to 11 years (OR=1.52; p=0.049) had greater chance of cure than no education; Type of entry, new cases (OR=3.31; p<0.001) and relapse (OR=3.32; p<0.001) had a greater chance of cure than reentry after abandonment; Time 2, 5 ¾| 6 months (OR=9.15; p<0.001); 6 ¾| 9 months (OR=27.28; p<0.001) and More than 9 months (OR=24,78; p<0,001) had greater chance of cure than patients who terminated treatment in less time; Health Unit District, DS I (OR=1.60; p=0.018) and DS IV (OR=2.87; p<0.001) had a greater chance of cure than DS VI. We suggest that health services develop a care organization that is directed at individual needs, prioritizing groups with lower chances of cure, guaranteeing equity and consequent transformations in the city s epidemiological TB indices.

O trabalho se propôs estudar as fontes de informações de saúde e sua utilização por atores sociais, profissionais de saúde e comunidade local da região do Recreio dos Bandeirantes, uma área de expansão urbana acelerada, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, com grande heterogeneidade geográfica e social. Estas informações constituem importantes instrumentos para o diagnóstico de saúde e o planejamento de políticas públicas locais. Para isso, é necessária uma abordagem interdisciplinar e participativa, envolvendo conceitos de vigilância da Saúde, território, informação em saúde e participação popular. Para realização dessa proposta foram utilizadas metodologias qualitativas e quantitativas, uma vez que se confrontaram dados de sistemas de informação em saúde e publicações na mídia, com entrevistas aos atores sociais mencionados. Foram utilizados mapas com a localização dos agravos, confeccionados com mínimos tratamentos cartográficos, com o intuito dos mesmos agirem como dispositivos contribuintes na comunicação junto aos personagens entrevistados. Com isso mapas dos agravos relacionados ao saneamento, como, dengue, leptospirose, esquistossomose e hepatites virais e os dados disponível sobre a saúde do bairro foram contrastados com a percepção que atores sociais constroem sobre áreas de risco. Concluindo assim, uma breve investigação da eficácia dos dados e seus usos na transformação e melhoria da saúde em nível local
This work aimed to study the sources of information about health and its use by social actors, health professionals and the local community in the region of the Recreio dos Bandeirantes, an area of rapid urban expansion, in the of Rio de Janeiro, with great heterogeneity geographical and social. This information constitutes important tools for the diagnosis of health and the planning of the local public policies. For this, it needs an interdisciplinary approach and participatory, involving concepts of health surveillance, territory, health information and public participation. For realization this proposal, were used qualitative and quantitative methodologies, since confronted information system data in health and media publications, interviews with social actors mentioned. It used maps with localization of the injuries, made with minimal cartographic treatment, with the intension of its act like device contributors in the communication with the characters interviewed. With this maps of the injuries related to sanitation such as dengue, leptospirosis, schistosomiasis, viral hepatitis and the available data about the district health were contrasted with the perception that social actors constructs about areas of risk. In conclusion therefore, a brief investigation of the effectiveness of the data and its uses in processing and improving health locally

El objetivo de esta tesis fue analizar las encuestas de condiciones de trabajo, empleo y salud (ECTES) en América Latina, y elaborar una propuesta para mejorar su comparabilidad. Por un lado, se identificaron y examinaron las similitudes y diferencias en la metodología de las ECTES disponibles. Por otro lado, a través de un proceso de consenso, se desarrolló un cuestionario básico y unos criterios metodológicos para futuras ECTES en la región. Además, se analizaron los datos provenientes de estas encuestas en una muestra comparable de personas asalariadas no agrícolas con contrato escrito. Entre los resultados cabe destacar los siguientes: 1) las principales diferencias entre las ECTES son la población de referencia y el lugar de realización de la entrevista, 2) se identificaron algunos patrones de exposición a malas condiciones de empleo, trabajo y estado de salud de la población estudiada y 3) el consenso final incluyó un cuestionario sobre condiciones de trabajo, empleo y salud compuesto por 77 preguntas distribuidas en seis dimensiones; y unas recomendaciones metodológicas mínimas, como por ejemplo, realizar la entrevista en el domicilio de la persona en lugar de en el centro de trabajo. Estos resultados pueden contribuir a mejorar la calidad y comparabilidad de la información en salud laboral en la población trabajadora de América Latina y el Caribe.This thesis aims to analyze the working conditions surveys (WCSs) in Latin America and to develop a proposal to improve the comparability of future surveys. First, we identified and examined the commonalities and differences in the methodologies of the WCSs available. Next, through a consensus process, a core questionnaire and basic methodological recommendations for future WCSs in the region were developed. In addition, we analyzed data from these surveys in a comparable sample of non-agricultural employees with written contract. Our findings can be summarized as follows: 1) WCSs in Latin America differed mainly in the covered population, the place of interview, and the question wording 2) some patterns of exposure to poor working and employment conditions, and health status were observed in the studied population 3) the final consensus included a core questionnaire for working, employment and health conditions, which comprises 77 questions organized in six dimensions, and main methodological recommendations such as conducting in-home interviews rather than workplace administered interviews. These results may contribute to improve occupational health surveillance in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is a universally distributed anthropozoonosis transmitted by the ingestion of tissue cysts or Toxoplasma gondii oocysts present in water, soil or contaminated food. In the literature there is description of outbreaks of toxoplasmosis, whose investigations could have been optimized with the use of geotechnologies. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have been widely used to produce representative digital maps of situations of risk and health vulnerabilities that a population is exposed, being able to expand as information to health control, surveillance and prevention, or even, in case of outbreaks, to generate hypotheses regarding the probable source of infection. Objective: To analyze a toxoplasmosis outbreak in a residential condominium in São Luis – MA. Methodology: An ecological study based on a historical database of the investigation of an outbreak of toxoplasmosis occurred in 2006 in a residential condominium of São Luís - Maranhão. There were 110 people among residents, employees and domestic workers, 90 had their blood collected for serological analysis by ELISA (researcher technique), being classified as susceptible or not to infection and determined the attack rate of the outbreak. The software STATA 10 and Fisher's exact test were used for statistical analysis of the data. For geostatistical analysis, the Kernel estimator and the IDW interpolator with the help of ArcGIS® 10.1 e QGIS® 2.14 software were used. For a time analysis of the date of onset of symptoms, Excel® 2010. Results: There were 33 cases of acute or recent infection among 53 susceptible individuals, with attack rate of 62.26%. Women were more affected (60.61%).Among them one was pregnant and 15 patients of fertile age, a group that presented an attack rate of 65.21%. Among those susceptible, the use of the filter at the faucet was a factor associated with illness (p =0.049). Spatial analyzes in both techniques showed relatively similar patterns of case distribution, with the Kernel technique better representing the reality of the outbreak. The geostatistical tests did not reveal a proximity association in relation to only the distance (area) from the suspected source (condominium water box). Conclusion: The outbreak presented a high attack rate mainly among women of childbearing age, a group that deserves attention in the evaluation of the possibility of vertical transmission. The outbreak was likely caused by water transmission, from the contamination of the water box of the condominium. Digital maps of the cases and the susceptible ones served as a more didactic form of representation of the outbreak, as well as an example for the application of geostatistical techniques in order to complement an epidemiological analysis in other studies dealing with events in public health.
Introdução: A toxoplasmose é uma antropozoonose de distribuição universal transmitida pela ingestão de cistos teciduais ou de oocistos do Toxoplasma gondii presentes na água, no solo ou em alimentos contaminados. Na literatura há descrição de surtos de toxoplasmose cujas investigações poderiam ter sido otimizadas com o uso de geotecnologias. Sistemas de Informação Geográfica têm sido muito utilizados para produzirem mapas digitais representativos de situações de riscos e vulnerabilidades em saúde a que uma determinada população está exposta, podendo ampliar as informações necessárias para estratégias de controle de agravos, vigilância e prevenção em saúde, ou ainda em caso de surtos, gerar hipóteses em relação à provável fonte de infecção. Objetivo: Analisar um surto de toxoplasmose ocorrido num condomínio residencial de São Luís – MA. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico a partir de um banco de dados histórico da investigação de um surto de toxoplasmose ocorrido em 2006 em um condomínio residencial de São Luís - Maranhão. Dentre os 110 moradores, funcionários e empregadas domésticas, 90 tiveram sangue coletado para triagem sorológica pela técnica de ELISA, sendo classificados em suscetíveis ou não à infecção e determinado a taxa de ataque do surto. Utilizou-se o software STATA 10 e o teste exato de Fisher para análise estatística dos dados. Para análise geoestatística foi utilizado o estimador de Kernel e o interpolador IDW com auxílio dos software ArcGIS® 10.1e QGIS® 2.14. Para a análise temporal da data do início dos sintomas, o Excel® 2010. Resultados: Houve 33 casos de infecção aguda ou recente dentre 53 indivíduos suscetíveis, com taxa de ataque de 62,26%. As mulheres foram mais acometidas (60,61%), dentre elas uma estava grávida e 15 estavam em idade fértil, grupo que apresentou uma taxa de ataque de 65,21%. Dentre os suscetíveis, o uso de filtro de torneira foi um fator associado ao adoecimento (p=0,049). As análises espaciais em ambas as técnicas apresentaram padrões relativamente semelhantes de distribuição de casos, sendo que a técnica de Kernel representou melhor a realidade do surto. Os testes geoestatísticos não revelaram associação de proximidade em se tratando apenas da distância (área) com relação à fonte suspeita (caixa d’água do condomínio). Conclusão: O surto apresentou uma alta taxa de ataque principalmente entre as mulheres em idade fértil, grupo que merece destaque em decorrência da possibilidade de transmissão vertical. O surto foi provavelmente de veiculação hídrica, a partir da contaminação da caixa d’água do condomínio. Os mapas digitais dos casos e dos suscetíveis serviram como uma forma de representação mais didática do surto, bem como um exemplo para aplicação de técnicas geoestatísticas com intuito de complementar a análise epidemiológica em outros estudos que tratem de eventos em saúde pública.

AbstractIncluding the voice of the father in research related to fathering is essential. This chapter describes efforts to establish a new public health surveillance for fathers in the United States. The ultimate goal of this research is to study fatherhood to support healthy child development by collecting valuable information on father health and experiences in the perinatal period. Understanding fathers is key to learning about and improving family health, since fathers impact mothers and babies’ health. Studying the health of fathers during the transition to fatherhood can also provide a window into the overall health status of men, expanding the field of public health to include more specifics on the health of fathers and their impact on families. Currently surveillance systems are lacking in including the fathers’ perspective in measurement of paternal health and the transition to fatherhood. To address these issues we utilized a multi-pronged approach to inform development of a public health surveillance system for fathers: (1) review of the current literature to identify gaps in knowledge on the role of fatherhood in male and family health and identify current national-level surveillance data on fathers; (2) assessed feasibility of identifying participants to implement a surveillance system for fathers; (3) conducted formative research to develop methodology; and (4) piloted a public health surveillance system called the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System for Dads or “PRAMS for Dads.”

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAnimals, like human beings, are prone to suffering harms, such as disease, injury and death, as a result of anthropogenic and natural disasters. Animals are disproportionately prone to risk and adversely affected by disasters, and thus require humane and respectful care when disasters strike, due to socially situated vulnerabilities based on how human communities assess and value their moral standing and function. The inability to integrate animals into disaster risk and management practices and processes can sometimes be associated with a lack of understanding about what animal ethics and animal health and welfare require when designing disaster management programs. This chapter seeks to reimagine human responsibility towards animals for disaster management. The pervasiveness of disasters and their impacts on animals, human-animal and animal-environment relationships underscore the importance of effective animal disaster management supported by sound ethical decision-making processes. To this end, we delineate six ethically responsible animal caretaking aims for consideration when developing disaster management plans and policies. These aims, which address central vulnerabilities experienced by domesticated animals during disasters, are meant to be action-guiding within the disaster management context. They include: (1) Save lives and mitigate harm; (2) Protect animal welfare and respect animals’ experiences; (3) Observe, recognize and promote distributive justice; (4) Advance public involvement; (5) Empower caregivers, guardians, owners and community members; (6) Bolster public health and veterinary community professionalism, including engagement in multidisciplinary teams and applied scientific developments. To bring about these aims, we offer a set of practical and straightforward action steps for animal caregivers and disaster management teams to ensure that animals’ interests are systematically promoted in disaster management. They include: (1) Respect and humane treatment; (2) Collaboration and effective disaster communication; (3) Strengthening systems of information sharing, surveillance, scientific research, management and training; (4) Community outreach and proactive contact; (5) Cultural sensitivity and attitudes check, and (6) Reflection, review and reform.

Adapting maturity models to healthcare organization's needs is an issue that researchers and technicians should consider and a valuable instrument for IT managers because these models allow the assessment of a present situation as well as the identification of useful improvement measures. This paper discusses the practical utilization of maturity models, including different manners of exploring model's usefulness. For a more complete understanding of maturity models, the selection of criteria and processes of measurement, called metrics, is briefly reviewed in terms of indicators and daily procedures. Some issues of management information systems security are briefly addressed, along with a note on measuring security assessment. Finally some considerations are presented about the need for privacy of personal data to ensure the strategies to be pursued to sensitive data in order to establish a level of effective privacy which is included in the concerns of security of information systems.

The Public Health Surveillance System (PHSS) is defined as the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination of health-related data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. It serves as an early warning system, guides public health policy and strategies, documents the impact of an intervention or progress towards specified public health targets/goals, and understands and monitors the epidemiology of a condition to set priorities and guide public health policy and strategies. For this purpose, the PHSS should: be ICT-based and comprehensive with clearly defined sources, volumes, and standards of data; include all the stakeholders with information they produce, with enough flexibility in the dynamic of constructing indicators; be safe and able to produce information on demand and on time; and be able to act as a risk management system by providing warnings/reminders/alerts to prevent unwanted events.

Full textAbstract:
Axiomatic Design is a technique that has been applied to multiple disciplines for enabling design, analysis, and troubleshooting of complex systems. In this paper, the principles of Axiomatic Design are applied to Wi-Fi networking. Wi-Fi is the information backbone for numerous applications, including Internet connectivity, video surveillance, data collection and inventory tracking in manufacturing and warehouse environments, patient location and health status monitoring in assisted living and hospital environments, along with numerous others. A Wi-Fi system consists of multiple access points working in tandem to provide seamless, high-speed, and high-quality wireless coverage to one or more wireless client devices. To implement such a network effectively, the Wi-Fi engineer must understand and control the interactions between multiple engineering disciplines, most notably information technology, network engineering, radio frequency physics, antenna design, and materials science. Technology development in this field is fast-paced, with new standards and capabilities being introduced into the market every couple of years. Additionally, the customer expectations (i.e. requirements) are changing as well once the Wi-Fi network is installed, as data demands from new types of devices like smartphones, tablets, and network appliances are introduced long after the original network was implemented. This paper shows that there are three primary functional requirements for a Wi-Fi network, namely client usage type, coverage area, and client capacity. When designing, implementing, or troubleshooting a Wi-Fi network, there are four primary design parameters that can be controlled, namely AP antenna / model, location, channel, and transmission power. Axiomatic Design demonstrates that these four design parameters are coupled, and thus cannot be manipulated independently. Nevertheless, by effectively implementing Axiomatic Design techniques to define a set of best practices, these four key parameters can be decoupled and properly linked back to the requirements and constraints of the system to simplify the design, implementation, and troubleshooting of a Wi-Fi network.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women, affecting mainly the age group of 50–59 years, the age at which screening tests are recommended. However, it has shown a progressive incidence below 50 years. For this reason, the objective is to analyze the statistical data on early mortality from breast cancer up to 50 years, in view of possible losses in diagnosis and early management. Methodology: A descriptive epidemiological study, a retrospective of time series, using the data from the Mortality Information System (SIM) of the Health Surveillance Secretariat of the Ministry of Health (SVS/MS) in the period of 2010 and 2019, in Brazil and in the State of Goiás, was analyzed. Malignant neoplasms of death and women up to 50 years of age were included as causes of death. The data were compared and tabulated in Excel. Results: Deaths due to malignant breast cancer in Goiás, between 2010 and 2019, were 35 (20–29 years old), 306 (30–39 years old), and 766 (40–49 years old), equivalent to 26.2% of the total number of deaths in all age groups (1,107 cases). In Brazil, deaths were 1,149 (20–29 years old), 9,876 (30–39 years old), and 24,586 (40–49 years old), totaling 23.3%. Conclusion: According to the analysis, it is possible to point to an increase in deaths, especially for those aged 40–49 years. The lack of inclusion of women in this group interferes with the prognosis, since it makes the late diagnosis feasible and, in more advanced stages, causes less chances of cure. Possible adaptations and strategies for screening this public and coverage by public health systems must be considered.

Condition monitoring assesses the operational health of rotating machinery, in order to provide early and accurate warning of potential failures such that preventative maintenance actions may be taken. To achieve this target, manufacturers start taking on the responsibilities of engine condition monitoring, by embedding health monitoring systems within each engine unit and prompting maintenance actions when necessary. Several types of condition monitoring are used including oil debris monitoring, temperature monitoring and vibration monitoring. Among them, vibration monitoring is the most widely used technique. Machine vibro-acoustic signatures contain pivotal information about its state of health. The current work focuses on one part of the diagnosis stage of condition monitoring for engine bearing health monitoring as bearings are critical components in rotating machinery. A plethora of signal processing tools and methods applied at the time domain, the frequency domain, the time-frequency domain and the time-scale domain have been presented in order to extract valuable information by proposing different diagnostic features. Among others, an emerging interest has been reported on modeling rotating machinery signals as cyclostationary, which is a particular class of non-stationary stochastic processes. A process x(t) is said to be nth-order cyclostationary with period T if its nth-order moments exist and are periodic with period T. Several tools, such as the Spectral Correlation Density (SCD) and the Cyclic Modulation Spectrum (CMS) can be used in order to extract interesting information concerning the cyclic behavior of cyclostationary signals. In order to measure the cyclostationarity from order 1 to 4, concise and global indicators have been proposed. However, in a number of applications such as aircraft engines and wind turbines the characteristic vibroacoustic signatures of rotating machinery depend on the operating conditions of the rotational speed and/or the load. During the last decades fault diagnostics of rotating machinery under variable speed/load has attracted a lot of interest. The classical cyclostationary tools can be used under the assumption that the speed of machinery is constant or nearly constant, otherwise the vibroacoustic signal becomes cyclo-non-stationary. In order to overcome this limitation a generalization of both SCD and CMS functions have been proposed displaying cyclic Order versus Frequency. The goal of this paper is to propose a novel approach for the analysis of cyclo-nonstationary signals based on the generalization of indicators of cyclostationarity in order to cover the speed varying conditions. The proposed indicators of cyclo-non-stationarity (ICNS) are expected to summarize the information at various statistical orders and at lower computational cost compared to the Order-Frequency SCD or CMS. This generalization is realized by introducing a new speed-dependent angle averaging operator. The effectiveness of the approach is evaluated on an acceleration signal captured on the casing of an aircraft engine gearbox, provided by SAFRAN, in the frames of SAFRAN contest which took place at the Surveillance 8 International Conference.

Abstract The oil and gas industry is lagging behind many industries in the adoption of technology and digital transformation. Our industry must transform at speed and scale to reap the available benefits of such technologies. Managing well integrity through personnel physical presence at the wellsite to take recordings increases the time to react to issues, the time to collect data, and the time to implement actions, and the high field trip rates introduce an increased risk to employees. A digital wellhead integrated system (DWIS) provides information on wellhead parameters from smart instrumentation and achieves operational intelligence via edge computing. This solution improves the response time between production data and field actions to optimize and improve operational performance following workflow parameters. DWIS provides real-time monitoring, data collection, and management of well conditions, which minimizes the effects of human interactions, while providing consistent information that can be used for future health maintenance activities thus mitigating the risk of unexpected events. Cost efficient remote monitoring and control of well activities prolongs the life of the well and promotes savings. The DWIS has been deployed and successfully tested in North America, South America, and the Middle East. A single DWIS implemented with a client resulted in production gains of 400,000 bbl./yr. and reduced 10,000 miles of driving—reducing the carbon footprint in a harsh environment. By providing human intelligence at the wellsite through edge computing and smart instrumentation, data can be generated, and actions taken to reduce expensive unplanned maintenance, offline outages, resource-intensive costs, and carbon footprint. Furthermore, this infrastructure at the wellsite enables ideas for new workflow implementation such as site monitoring via computer vision and more elaborate production and optimization workflows, creating a truly intelligent asset. DWIS maintain well integrity and provide continuous monitoring to optimize oil and gas production. This DWIS supports well integrity maintenance strategies providing real-time control and well optimization enabled by smart instrumentation, surveillance systems, and intelligent workflows powered by artificial intelligence/machine learning algorithms executed at the edge and, in some instances, at the cloud level.

Full textAbstract:
The Center for Plant Health Science and Technology (CPHST) provides scientific support for the regulatory decisions and operations of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS) Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) program in order to safeguard U.S. agriculture and natural resources. CPHST is responsible for ensuring that PPQ has the information, tools, and technology to make the most scientifically valid regulatory and policy decisions possible. In addition, CPHST ensures that PPQ’s operations have the most scientifically viable and practical tools for pest exclusion, detection, and management. This 2009 CPHST Annual Report is intended to offer an in-depth look at the status of our programs and the progress CPHST has made toward the Center’s long-term strategic goals. CPHST's work is organized into six National Science Programs: Agricultural Quarantine Inspection and Port Technology; Risk and Pathway Analysis; Domestic Surveillance, Detection, and Identification; Emergency Response; Response and Recovery Systems Technology - Arthropods; and Response and Recovery Systems Technology - Plant Pathogens and Weeds. the scientists of CPHST provide leadership and expertise in a wide range of fields, including risk assessments that support trade, commodity quarantine treatments, pest survey and detection methods, molecular diagnostics, biological control techniques, integrated pest management, and mass rearing of insects. Some highlights of significant CPHST efforts in 2009 include: Establishment of the National Ornamentals Research Site at Dominican University of California, Established LBAM Integrated Pest Management and Survey Methods, Continue to develop Citrus Greening/Huanglongbing Management Tools, and further European Grapevine Moth (EGVM) Response.
