Mass Gathering
Syndromic surveillance is the near real-time monitoring of key health indicators in emergency department (ED) and urgent care visits. Oregon ESSENCE tracks the number of visits for specific patient symptoms using chief complaints (what the patient says is the reason for their visit) and discharge diagnosis codes. Visit information is collected from EDs and urgent care centers across the state.
Description
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), binge drinking causes over half of the 88,000 excessive alcohol use deaths and costs approximately $149 billion dollars annually in the United States. Additionally, excessive alcohol use can increase the risk of many other health problems, including injuries and cancer, placing a large burden on public health. In Franklin County, Ohio, The Ohio State University (OSU) football games are an occasion of binge drinking for the student body and Columbus population alike. The purpose of this study is to determine if the binge drinking population is significantly different during football games.
Objective
Identify any relationship between alcohol-related emergency department visits in Franklin County, Ohio and Ohio State University football games.
Description
The 9th IOIG took place in Reunion Island from July 31 to August 9, 2015. This sport event gathered approximatively 1 640 athletes, 2 000 volunteers and several thousand spectators from seven islands:Comoros, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, Mayotte, Seychelles and Reunion.In response to the import risk of infectious diseases from these countries where some of them are endemics, the syndromic surveillance system, which captures 100% of all Emergency Department visits, was enhanced in order to detect any health event.
Objective
To describe how syndromic surveillance was enhanced to detect health events during the 9th Indian Ocean Island Games (IOIG) in Reunion Island.
Description
The 2016 U.S. Olympic Track and Field Team Trials were held July 1-10 in Eugene, OR. This mass gathering included over 1,000 athletes, 1,500 volunteers, and 175,000 spectators. The Oregon Public Health Division (PHD) and Lane County Public Health (LCPH) participated in pre-event planning and collaborated to produce a daily epidemiology report for the Incident Management Team (IMT) during the event. The state and county public health agencies had collaborated on surveillance for prior mass gatherings, including the 2012 Trials. However, 2016 was the first opportunity to use complete state and county syndromic surveillance data.
Objective
To streamline production of a daily epidemiology report including syndromic surveillance, notifiable disease, and outbreak data during a mass gathering.
