我们如何监测和了解莱姆病的趋势?
利用莱姆病监测数据协调中心

美国疾病控制与预防中心挑战
莱姆病的监测情况, 特别是在高发地区, has shifted with a recent change to laboratory-based reporting criteria no longer requiring reporting of clinician-diagnosed cases. This change has created a need for new data sources to estimate incidence 和 monitor trends in the epidemiology 和 临床表现 of Lyme disease in these areas.
Electronic health records (EHRs) are a promising potential source of data for monitoring trends in Lyme disease. 电子病历数据已用于评估莱姆病流行病学, 以及几种结合诊断代码的算法, 测试订单, 抗生素配药已被提议用于病例识别. With respect to constructing optimal case identification algorithms, there is room for improvement.
The Surveillance-Based Lyme Disease (SubLyme) Network is a collaboration between CDC’s National Center for Emerging 和 Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, 趣赢平台, 和 5 health care systems aimed at using EHR data to supplement 和 enhance traditional Lyme disease surveillance.
解决方案
在这项监测研究中, 趣赢平台 is working with CDC 和 5 health care systems in areas with a high Lyme disease burden to establish a virtual epidemiology network. This network will gather EHR data from these health care systems 和 use these data to generate Lyme disease incidence estimates 和 support in-depth studies of epidemiology, 临床表现, 和, 产品应该上市吗, 疫苗的影响.
这个项目的目标是:
- 制定和测试基于ehr的莱姆病病例定义.
- Apply these definitions across disparate health care systems to estimate local Lyme disease incidence.
- Use these definitions as the starting point for additional EHR-based studies of Lyme disease epidemiology.
The definitions to be tested include both traditional public health-style case definitions 和 machine learning-derived definitions.
趣赢平台 serves as the data coordinating center for this network 和 is responsible for developing protocols, 协调数据收集工作, 分析数据, 促进网络伙伴之间的协作.
该项目第一年的重点是以下任务:
- 建立关系网. 趣赢平台 is working with major health care systems that are directly contracted with CDC to collect EHR data on a well-defined cohort of patients 和 also provide a validation set (both cases 和 non-cases) to be used for the production 和 validation of a set of case definitions. Included in the data provided by sites will be dates related to Lyme disease events, 比如相遇的日期, 诊断测试日期, 用药日期和高级地理信息.
- 建立一套基于电子病历的病例定义. 使用验证数据, 我们将根据电子病历数据产生一系列候选病例定义. These definitions will include both traditional surveillance case definition algorithms 和 classification tree–based machine learning approaches. We will evaluate the performance of these definitions 和 decide on one or more to use for incidence estimation 和 defining the population to be used for later studies.
- 产生和常规的发病率估计. 使用案例定义或根据验证数据建立的定义, we will estimate Lyme disease incidence in the cohort defined by each health care system. An interim estimate will be provided during the peak Lyme disease transmission season along with a final estimate later in the year.
在试点阶段之后, we will support a series of more in-depth analyses to complement the ongoing incidence estimation. Tasks for this full network phase will include developing a framework for supplemental studies 和 conducting 疫苗的影响 assessments, 产品应该上市吗.
结果
通过这些努力, 趣赢平台 will provide CDC with a new data stream for situational awareness of 和 research into Lyme disease. This will complement existing public health reporting by providing greater insight into the clinical incidence of Lyme disease without relying exclusively on laboratory-based surveillance. The goal for this work is to ultimately provide the framework for the future of Lyme disease surveillance 和 enhance CDC’s capacity to identify 和 respond to trends in Lyme disease incidence.
