This syndrome attempts to capture acute GSW emergency department and inpatient visits

KDHE has updated the exhisting CO Poisoning Surveillance queries. Version 1 can be found here https://www.surveillancerepository.org/carbon-monoxide-exposure-kansas-…
Previously, we were querying for carbon monoxide-related cases by using the NSSP ESSENCE SubSyndrome for COPoisoning coupled with an ICD10 CM diagnosis code query. SubSyndrome and ICD10 queries had to be run separately and then combined and de-duplicated.
Description
This project was established through the Border Infectious Disease Surveillance (BIDS) program in Arizona (AZ) to monitor infecting respiratory pathogens among hospitalized patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI) in the AZ border region from September 2010 to the present.
Objective
To present the epidemiology, clinical aspects, and laboratory results of AZ SARI case patients and to describe respiratory viruses in the AZ border region.
Description
Electronic Health Record (EHR) data offers the researcher a potentially rich source of data for tracking disease syndromes. Procedures performed on the patient, medications prescribed (not necessarily filled by the patient), and reason for visit are just some characteristics of the patient encounter that are available through an EHR that can be used to define surveillance syndromes. Since procedures have not been used frequently in defining syndromes, encounter level procedures data, extracted from the EHR of a large local primary care practice with about 200,000 patient encounters per year was used to identify procedures associated with an established respiratory syndrome.
Objective
To investigate the utility of different sources of patient encounter information, particularly in the primary care setting, that can be used to characterize surveillance syndromes, such as respiratory or flu.
