Focus on ILI • We focused on influenza-like illness (ILI) as a syndrome that may indicate an event of public health significance • Anthrax • Plague • SARS • Influenza
ILI Case Definition • Positive influenza culture or antigen OR • Any two of the following (<= 7 days duration) • Cough • Fever or chills or night sweats • Pleuritic chest pain • Myalgia • Sore throat • Headache AND • Illness not attributable to a non-infectious etiology
Gold Standard Detector: Manual Case Review • VA Maryland Health Care System (VAMHCS) and the Salt Lake City VA (SLCVAMC) • Study period: 10/01/03 to 3/31/04 • 15,377 (of 253,818) random sample, ER and selected outpatient clinics • All ILI cases and a 10% subsample of the records were re-reviewed by a MD, discordant pairs were adjucated by a panel of three MDs • Found 280 cases
ICD-9-based ILI Detectors • Compared “respiratory” ICD-9 groupings from • BioSense (CDC) • Essence (DoD) • Optimized (VA)
Structured Parameters-based Case Detectors • Vitals: Temp >38, RR > 22, HR > 100 • Orders/dispense for Rx: expectorants, antibiotics, antitussives, decongestants, anti-emetics, antidiarrheals • Order/results for tests: CBC, Diff, Strep. screen, Sputum cultures, Gram stain, Respiratory serologies, Influenza cultures/antigens, Chest/sinus XRays or CT scans
ILI Case DetectorRetained parameters • “Cold remedies” • Fever >= 38ºC
“Cold Remedies” CN101 opioid analgesics like ”codeine" OR CN900 CNS medications, other acetaminophen/diphenhidramine, OR MS102 non-salicylate NSAIS (does not include antirheumatics) , OR NT100 decongestants, nasal, OR NT200 anti-inflammatories, nasal, OR NT400 antihistamine, nasal, OR NT900 nasal and throat, topical, use “other throat lozenge" only, OR RE200 decongestants, systemic, OR RE301 opioid-containing antitussives/expectorants, OR RE302 non-opioid-containing antitussives/expectorant, OR RE501 antihist/decongest, OR RE502 antihist/decongest/antitussive , OR RE503 antihist/decongest/expectorant , OR RE507 antihist/antitussive, OR RE508 antihist/antitussive/expectorant , OR RE513 decongest/antitussive/expectorant , OR RE516 decongest/expectorant , OR RE599 cold remedies, OR AH102 antihistamines, ethanolamine, OR AH104 antihistamines, alkylamine
TEXT-based ILI Case Detectors • Examine the text of all clinical encounter notes on the day of an index visit • Used modified NegEx algorithm (Wendy Chapman)

Outbreak Generator for Baltimore • Age-structureddeterministic epidemicmodel generates the number of new infections in each age group, each day, for each zip code • Stochasticmetapopulation spatialmodel determines how the outbreak will extend in space-time • Stochasticclinical features algorithm determines which of these infections will be recognized cases at the VA, and the severity, clinical profile and outcome for each recognized case
