Context:

Between 2020 and 2022, the US saw sharp increases in syphilis cases, particularly among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. In July of 2023, the Indian Health Service (IHS), the federal agency charged with providing health care services to AI/AN people, recommended annual syphilis screening for all people aged 13 to 64 years to address the nationwide syphilis outbreak.

Objectives:

To assess annual syphilis screening policy recommendation changes at an outpatient clinical facility in 1 IHS clinical service unit and associated case finding outcomes between May 2022 and May 2025.

Design:

A retrospective analysis of medical and public health records related to syphilis screening and positivity as a public health practice activity.

Setting:

An outpatient clinical facility in 1 IHS clinical service unit in South Dakota.

Participants:

Any 13- to 64-year-old person who had at least 1 visit to primary care services at the facility. Individuals were eligible for inclusion once for each year analyzed. A total of 27 282 unique visits were analyzed.

Intervention:

Implementation of an annual syphilis screening policy for those aged 13 to 64 years.

Main Outcome Measure:

Percentage change in syphilis screening coverage.

Results:

Syphilis screening coverage increased by 57% overall after policy implementation, including increased coverage among females, males, all age groups, and pregnant people. A total of 354 cases of syphilis were newly diagnosed.

Conclusions:

After implementation of a facility-based annual syphilis screening policy for those aged 13 to 64 years, screening coverage for syphilis increased nearly 60% and over 350 cases of syphilis were identified during a syphilis outbreak in the community. In this outbreak setting, increased screening facilitated case finding and represents an important component of overall outbreak response efforts.

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Angina III: Clinical Manifestations and Assessment

Angina III: Clinical Manifestations and Assessment

Angina manifests as chest pain, tightness, or squeezing discomfort typically located behind the breastbone. It can radiate to the neck, jaw, shoulders, and inner aspects of the upper arms, most commonly the left arm. Patients may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, profuse sweating, dizziness, indigestion, heartburn, palpitations, anxiety, and vomiting as accompanying symptoms. This pain often lasts a few minutes and is triggered by physical exertion, emotional stress, heavy meals, or cold...

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Setting Time of Cement

Setting Time of Cement

The setting time of cement refers to the process of cement paste transitioning from a plastic state to a solid state. This process is crucial in construction as it dictates the timeframe for concrete placement, compaction, and finishing. The onset of this solidification is termed the initial set, indicating when the paste becomes unworkable. The final set is when the paste has solidified completely, and further handling or manipulation can no longer affect its shape. The cement strength is...

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...
