Implications for registry-based vaccine effectiveness studies from an evaluation of an immunization registry
Provider records frequently could not be matched to registry records or had discrepancies in key immunization data. These issues were more common for older children and were present even with electronic data transfer. These results highlight general challenges that may face investigators wishing to use registry-based immunization data for vaccine effectiveness studies, especially in adolescents
Syphilis Testing in Association With Gonorrhea/Chlamydia Testing During a Syphilis Outbreak
We used an electronic medical records system retrospectively to evaluate how frequently, in a public hospital and its clinics, combined gonorrhea/chlamydia tests were accompanied by a syphilis test before and during a syphilis outbreak. Among 70 330 gonorrhea/chlamydia tests (1996–2000), the proportion with a syphilis test increased from 13% (preoutbreak) to 50% (intervention period) for men and from 6% to 13% for nonpregnant women. The increased…
Consequences in Georgia of a nationwide outbreak of Salmonella infections
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the impact in Georgia of a nationwide salmonellosis outbreak caused by ice cream products and the effectiveness of the subsequent warning against eating the implicated products. METHODS: A telephone survey of 250 randomly selected Georgia customers of the ice cream producer was conducted 13 to 17 days after the warning. RESULTS: Respondents from 179 households representing 628 persons were interviewed. The median d…
