Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

91
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

2.4K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.6K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.0K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

4.9K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

13.3K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Established in 2002, the Canadian Congenital Anomalies Surveillance Network (CCASN) aimed to fill national gaps in birth defect monitoring.
  • The network supports sustainable, high-quality, population-based surveillance systems for congenital anomalies (CAs) across Canadian provinces and territories.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze and compare methodologies employed by local CA surveillance systems nationwide.
  • To identify similarities and variations in data collection and analysis across different regions.
  • To inform strategies for enhancing national CA surveillance efforts through a comprehensive understanding of existing systems.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive analysis of methodologies from provincial and territorial CA surveillance systems.
  • Comparative review of data collection, case ascertainment, data management, and reporting practices.
  • Identification of common elements and divergent approaches within the network.

Main Results:

  • Significant variability exists in the specific methodologies used by different provincial and territorial CA surveillance systems.
  • Commonalities in core surveillance functions were identified, providing a foundation for national standardization.
  • Variations highlight areas for potential improvement and knowledge sharing to enhance overall data quality and comparability.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the diverse methodologies of local systems is crucial for effective national surveillance of congenital anomalies.
  • Standardization of key surveillance components could improve data consistency and facilitate national trend analysis.
  • The CCASN's collaborative approach is vital for advancing population-based birth defect monitoring in Canada.
