  2. Goal of Surveillance Public health surveillance is the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data regarding a health-related event for use in public health action to reduce morbidity and mortality and to improve health. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Updated guidelines for evaluating public health surveillance systems: recommendations from the guidelines working group. MMWR 2001; 50 (No. RR-13).

  3. What Data is Collected and Measured? What are the Data Sources? How Do You Tell if a Value is Significant?How Data is Reported to the Public? • Surveillance Measures • Data Resources • Statistics- One Test for Significance • Report and Publications

  4. Surveillance Measure And Resources • Morbidity: The occurrence of an illness or illnesses in a population • Prevalence • Hospitalizations • Medicaid reimbursement • EMS Response time • Quality of care • Mortality: The occurrence of death in a population • Deaths

  5. CVD Surveillance Measures and Resources Health Service Region (HSR) † Dependent on sample size

  6. Prevalence • The number of existing cases of a disease or health condition in a population at some designated time • How common a disease is in a population • An indication of the extent of a health problem

  7. Incidence • The rate of development of a disease in a group over a certain time period • Three important elements to determine incidence rate: • The numerator- number of new cases • The denominator- population at risk • Time- period during which the cases accrue

  8. Prevalence - Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) • Population-based, random-digit dialed telephone survey • Conducted annually by all 50 states, 3 territories, and the District of Columbia • For more Information visit: • http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/chs/brfss/default.sht • http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/index.htm

  9. Prevalence -BRFSS • Cardiovascular Disease or Stroke Prevalence included since 1999 (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009)  • Cardiovascular Health included since 1999 (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009)  • Heart Attack & Stroke signs and symptoms included since 2001 (2001, 2003, 2005, 2009)  • Action to control high blood pressure included since 2007 (2007, 2009) 

  10. CVD Prevalence - BRFSS • Questions for Prevalence • CVD- “Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional that you had a Heart Attack, Myocardial Infarction, Angina, Coronary Heart Disease, or Stroke ?” • Heart Disease- “Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional that you had a Heart Attack, Myocardial Infarction, Angina, or Coronary Heart Disease ?” • Stroke- “Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional that you had a stroke ?”

  11. Prevalence - BRFSS • Available Data • All State, HSR, MSA, and some counties • Demographics • Race/ethnicity • Gender • Age • Education • Income • Risk Factors

  12. Hospitalization-Texas Health Care Information Collections (THCIC) • Hospital discharge data have been compiled and tabulated by THCIC since 1999 • Billing forms used to collected data. Therefore data collected are administrative, not clinical • All CVD hospitalization is defined as hospital records listing as the primary diagnosis ICD-9 Code • ICD-9 Code for Cardiovascular Disease:390-448 • For more information visit: http://www.dshs.tx.us/thcic/

  13. ICD 9 Codes for CVD • Ischemic Heart Disease (ICD-9: 410-414) • Heart Attack (ICD-9: 410) • Hemorrhagic Stroke (ICD-9: 430-432) • Ischemic Stroke (ICD-9: 436-438, 433, and 434) • Congestive Heart Failure (ICD-9: 428) • Hypertension (ICD-9: 401-405)

  14. Hospitalization - THCIC • Available Data • All State, HSR, MSA, TSA, and counties • Charges- $ • Demographics • Race/ethnicity • Gender • Age • Payment Sources • Patient Discharge Status • Age-adjusted Hospitalization Rates per 10,000

  15. Medicaid Reimbursement-Texas Health & Human Services Commission (HHSC) • Variables • Claim Type- physician, emergency department or in-patient hospital • Recipient- having at least one claim (physician, ED, or hospital) with a primary diagnosis of CVD • Reimbursement - $

  16. Medicaid Reimbursement-HHSC • CVD defined as paid or partially paid claims with a primary diagnosis of ICD-9 code: • Cardiovascular Disease (ICD-9 CM: 410 - 414, 428, and 430 – 438) • Ischemic Heart Disease (ICD-9: 410 - 414) • Stroke (ICD-9: 430 - 438) • Congestive Heart Failure (ICD-9: 428) • Hypertension (ICD-9: 401-405)

  17. Medicaid Reimbursement – Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) • Available Data • Statewide • Claim Type- physician, emergency department or inpatient hospital • Reimbursement - $

  18. EMS Data- Texas EMS/Trauma Registry • Suspected Illness Types CVD defined as cardiac arrest, cardiac rhythm disturbance, and chest pain/discomfort • Stroke defined as Stroke/CVA • Medical-related calls only (i.e. calls exclusively related to trauma were excluded) • 911 calls only (no inter-facility transfers) • Texas residents only

  19. EMS Data- Texas EMS/Trauma Registry • Available Data • State, HSR, MSA, TSA, Border and No-borders counties • Variables include: • Total Number of Transports • Response Time • Scene Time • Transport Time • Delivery Time

  20. Quality of Care - Health Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) • HEDIS is a tool used by more than 90 percent of America’s health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. • It is a set of standardized performance measures designed to provide purchasers and consumers with the information they need to reliably compare the performance of healthcare plans. • For more Information visit: http://www.opic.state.tx.us/docs/611_guidetotexashmoquality2009.pdf

  21. Quality of Care - HEDIS • Available measures • State • Variables include: • Blood Pressure Control • Cholesterol Management for Patients with Cardiovascular Condition: LDL-C Screening • Cholesterol Management for Patients with Cardiovascular Condition: LDL-C level <130 mg/dL • Beta Blocker Treatment after a Heart Attack

  22. Mortality-Center for Health Statistics (CHS) An CVD death is defined as any death for which CVD is listed as the underlying cause • Before 1999, Used ICD -9 code. After 1999 Using ICD 10 code • For more Information visit: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/vs/default.shtm

  23. Mortality - CHS • ICD 10 code: • Cardiovascular Disease (ICD-10: I00-I99) • Ischemic Heart Disease (ICD-10: I20-I25) • Stroke (ICD-10: I60-I69) • Congestive Heart Failure (ICD-10: I50) • Hypertension (ICD-10: I11-I13)

  24. Mortality - CHS • Available Data • State, HSR, MSA, TSA, and counties • Age-adjusted Rates per 100,000 • Demographics • Race/ethnicity • Gender • Age (age specific)

  25. Texas Population Data - CHS • Used when preparing demographic information or calculating number of cases when given rate • Center for Health Statistics (CHS) provides population estimates and projections • Population estimates more reliable than projections • http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/chs/popdat/default.shtm

  26. StatisticsOne Test for Significance • Confidence Interval (CI) is a statistical measure that is considered by many epidemiologist as meaningful • CI is one in a list of several statistical tests to help interpret observed associations • CIs are influenced by the variability of the data and the sample size

  27. Interpreting CI • If the confidence intervals do not overlap, the test is statistically significant. Cardiovascular Health and Wellness Program, DSHS

  28. Interpreting CI • If the confidence intervals overlap, the test is not statistically significant. Cardiovascular Health and Wellness Program, DSHS

  29. Reports and Publications • Chronic Disease Burden Report http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/chronic/pdf/CDBR2010.pdf • Texas CVD Burden Report http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/wellness/default.shtm • Fact sheets • Posters • PowerPoint presentations

  30. Data Requests • Data requests can be submitted to the CHW epidemiologist via email: Weihua.Li@dshs.state.tx.us
