Abstract

AbstractHealthcare personnel with severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection were interviewed to describe activities and practices in and outside the workplace. Among 2,625 healthcare personnel, workplace-related factors that may increase infection risk were more common among nursing-home personnel than hospital personnel, whereas selected factors outside the workplace were more common among hospital personnel.

47. Hepatitis C Virus Testing, Infection, and Cases Reported Through Public Health Surveillance During Expanded Screening Recommendations, United States, 2013-2021

Author

Ly, Kathleen N., Niles, Justin K., Jiles, Ruth B., Kaufman, Harvey W., Weng, Mark K., Patel, Priti, Meyer, William A., Thompson, William W., and Thompson, Nicola D.

Abstract

Objectives: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the most common bloodborne infection in the United States. We assessed trends in HCV testing, infection, and surveillance cases among US adults.Methods: We used Quest Diagnostics data from 2013-2021 to assess trends in the numbers tested for HCV antibody and proportion of positivity for HCV antibody and HCV RNA. We also assessed National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System 2013-2020 data for trends in the number and proportion of hepatitis C cases. We applied joinpoint regression for trends testing.Results: Annual HCV antibody testing increased from 1.7 million to 4.8 million from 2013 to 2021, and the positivity proportion declined (average, 0.2% per year) from 5.5% to 3.7%. The greatest percentage-point increase in HCV antibody testing occurred in hospitals and substance use disorder treatment facilities and among addiction medicine providers. HCV RNA positivity was stable at about 60% in 2013-2015 and declined to 41.0% in 2021 (2015-2021 average, −3.2% per year). Age-specific HCV RNA positivity was highest among people aged 40-59 years during 2013-2015 and among people aged 18-39 years during 2016-2021. The number of reported hepatitis C cases (acute and chronic) declined from 179 341 in 2015 to 105 504 in 2020 (average decline, −13 177 per year). The proportion of hepatitis C cases among those aged 18-39 years increased by an average of 1.4% per year during 2013-2020; among individuals aged 40-59 years, it decreased by an average of 2.3% per year during 2013-2018.Conclusions: HCV testing increased, suggesting improved universal screening. Various data sources are valuable for monitoring elimination progress.

48. Hepatitis B Care Continuum Models—Data to Inform Public Health Action

Author

Spradling, Philip R., Bocour, Angelica, Kuncio, Danica E., Ly, Kathleen N., Harris, Aaron M., and Thompson, Nicola D.

Abstract

The application of a care continuum model (CCM) can identify gaps in diagnosis, care, and treatment of populations with a common condition, but challenges are inherent in developing a CCM for chronic hepatitis B. In contrast with treatment for HIV or hepatitis C, treatment is not indicated for all people with chronic hepatitis B, clinical endpoints are not clear for those receiving treatment, and those for whom treatment is not indicated remain at risk for complications. This topical review examines the data elements necessary to develop and apply chronic hepatitis B CCMs at the jurisdictional health department level. We conducted a nonsystematic review of US-based publications in Ovid MEDLINE (1946–present), Ovid Embase (1974–present), and Scopus (not date limited) databases, which yielded 724 publications for review. Jurisdictional health departments, if properly supported, could develop locale-specific focused CCMs using person-level chronic hepatitis B registries, updated longitudinally using electronic laboratory reporting data and case reporting data. These CCMs could be applied to identify disparities and improve rates in testing and access to care and treatment, which are necessary to reduce liver disease and chronic hepatitis B mortality. Investments in public health surveillance infrastructure, including substantial enhancements in electronic laboratory reporting and case reporting and the use of supplementary data sources, could enable jurisdictional health departments to develop modified CCMs for chronic hepatitis B that focus, at least initially, on “early” CCM steps, which emphasize optimization of hepatitis B diagnosis, linkage to care, and ongoing clinical follow-up of diagnosed people, all of which can lead to improved outcomes.

49. Antibiotic-resistant pathogens associated with urinary tract infections in nursing homes: Summary of data reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network Long-Term Care Facility Component, 2013–2017

Author

Eure, Taniece R., Stone, Nimalie D., Mungai, Elisabeth A., Bell, Jeneita M., and Thompson, Nicola D.

Abstract

AbstractObjective:Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a growing and highly prevalent problem in nursing homes. We describe selected AR phenotypes from pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) reported by nursing homes to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).Design:Pathogens and antibiotic susceptibility testing results for UTI events in nursing homes between January 2013 and December 2017 were analyzed. The pathogen distribution and pooled mean proportion of isolates that tested resistant to select antibiotic agents are reported.Setting and Participants:US nursing homes voluntarily participating in the Long-Term Care Facility component of the NHSN.Results:Overall, 243 nursing homes reported 1 or more UTIs: 121 (50%) were nonprofit facilities, median bed size was 91 (range: 9–801), and average occupancy was 87%. In total, 6,157 pathogens were reported for 5,485 UTI events. Moreover, 9 pathogens accounted for 90% of all reported UTIs; the 3 most frequently identified were Escherichia coli(41%), Proteusspecies (14%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae/oxytoca(13%). Among E. coli, fluoroquinolone, and extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistance were most prevalent (50% and 20%, respectively). Although Staphylococcus aureusand Enterococcus faeciumrepresented <5% of pathogens reported, they had the highest rates of resistance (67% methicillin resistant and 60% vancomycin resistant, respectively). Multidrug resistance was most common in Pseudomonas aeruginosa(11%). For the resistant phenotypes we assessed, 36% of all UTIs reported were associated with a resistant pathogen.Conclusions:This is the first summary of AR among common pathogens causing UTIs reported to NHSN by nursing homes. Improved understanding of the resistance burden among common infections helps inform facility infection prevention and antibiotic stewardship efforts.
