Query purpose:
To assist state, local, tribal, territorial, and federal public health practitioners in trend monitoring for long COVID (also commonly described as Post-COVID Complications (PCC) or long-haul COVID) related visits in the emergency department (ED) setting using syndromic surveillance data.
How it was developed:
Subject matter experts from seven jurisdictions (WA; VA; Harris County, TX; Pierce-Tacoma County, WA; NE; KS; KY) created and validated the definition using ED visit data from January – December 2023.
Query purpose:
To assist state, local, tribal, territorial, and federal public health practitioners in identifying patients likely to have long COVID (also commonly described as Post-COVID Complications (PCC) or long-haul COVID) by reviewing visits in the emergency department (ED) setting and to help with trend monitoring for long COVID related visits using syndromic surveillance data.
How it was developed:
Query purpose:
The aim of this syndrome definition is to assist with rapid detection of potential initial visits for a firearm injury. The following injury intents due to firearms are included in this definition: unintentional, intentional self-directed, assault, undetermined intent, legal intervention, and terrorism. The definition aims to capture only initial encounters for a firearm injury and negate subsequent encounters or sequelae.

Why the syndrome was created:
Why the syndrome was created:
The purpose of the CDC Legionella v1 ESSENCE query is to capture potential visits related to Legionella. It is useful to identify potential cases for follow-up, conduct situation awareness and monitoring of outbreaks, and perform retrospective trend monitoring across geographic regions to identify possible disease hotspots, etc.
Data sources the syndrome was used on (e.g., emergency room, EMS, air quality):
Emergency room
Why the syndrome was created:
The purpose of CDC Medication Refill v1 is to monitor visits for any medication/prescription that a patient may have run out of. Anything repetitive that needs routine refill visits - dialysis, oxygen, heart, BP, cholesterol.
