This syndrome attempts to capture acute GSW emergency department and inpatient visits
Injury
Responding to an ask on the ISDS forums (https://www.healthsurveillance.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=190904&topic…), KDHE made a first attempt at a Gunshot Injury query for Kansas syndromic data. There are a lot of other versions of GSW queries in this forum post. I recommend looking over the thread.
THE KNOWLEDGE REPOSITORY HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE CDC ALL DRUG V2 - THE UPDATED SYNDROME DEFINITION CAN BE FOUND HERE.
The query was developed by NSSP and CDC Division of Violence Prevention. It was developed to assist rape prevention coordinators and project officers in doing sexual violence and intimate partner violence surveillance using syndromic surveillance. An ESSENCE CCDD category has been created and its called Intimate Partner Violence v1.
The query was updated and developed in collaboration with NSSP & CDC Division of Violence Prevention for a version 2 of the Sexual Violence syndrome. The syndrome is intended for rape prevention coordinators for their surveillance work at local and state health departments. The query has been added to the CCDD category and is named Sexual Violence v2.
THE KNOWLEDGE REPOSITORY HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE CDC OPIOID V3 - THE UPDATED SYNDROME DEFINITION CAN BE FOUND HERE.
THE KNOWLEDGE REPOSITORY HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE CDC HEROIN OVERDOSE V4 - THE UPDATED SYNDROME DEFINITION CAN BE FOUND HERE.
THE KNOWLEDGE REPOSITORY HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE CDC STIMULANT OVERDOSE V3 - THE UPDATED SYNDROME DEFINITION CAN BE FOUND HERE.
