Definition Purpose: Created in collaboration between subject matter experts from the CDC National
Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) and CDC Viral Vaccine Preventable Diseases Branch (VVPDB)’s
mumps program for use with emergency department data to develop a query for mumps defined by the
National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). Please note that while disease queries are
developed using the NNDSS case definition as the basis for identifying patient visits of interest, the queried
patient visits themselves may or may not represent a case patient in NNDSS and further public health
investigation will most often be required. This query is intended to be a version 2 and may be further
improved upon by the NSSP community of practice in the future. This query is intended to be narrow and
capture visits with specific terms to support greater monitoring and actionable public health data. More
complex and/or broader queries may exist that more broadly capture symptoms or travel-based terms.
