Background

The National Center for National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting approval of a non-substantive change to the approved package under OMB no. 0920-0978; expiration date 8/31/2016.

These forms are used to conduct surveillance to determine the incidence and epidemiologic characteristics of invasive disease due to Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis, group A Streptococcus, group B Streptococcus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae., specific foodborne diseases that is captured within FoodNet, and Influenza (specifically for the All Age Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance (Flu Hosp) project).

The forms for which approval for changes and additions are being sought include:

1. 2015 ABCs Case Report Form — (Attachment 1)

2. 2015 ABCs Neonatal Infection Expanded Tracking Form — (Attachment 2 )

3. New Form: 2014 ABCs Non Bacteremic Pneumococcal Disease— (Attachment 3)

4. 2015 FoodNet Variable list — (Attachment 4)

5. 2014-2015 FluSurv-NET Influenza Surveillance Project Case Report Form — (Attachment 5)

6. 2014-2015 FluSurv-NET Influenza Surveillance Project Vaccination History Telephone Survey — (Attachment 6)

7. 2014-2015 FluSurv-NET Influenza Surveillance Project Vaccination History Telephone Survey (Spanish) — (Attachment 7)

8. 2014-2015 FluSurv-NET Influenza Surveillance Project Consent Form — (Attachment 8)

9. 2014-2015 FluSurv-NET Influenza Surveillance Project Consent Form (Spanish) — (Attachment 9)

The changes in this package are minor, do not change the scope of a collection, and does not greatly impact the burden. The following will detail the changes to the EIP surveillance tools including description and crosswalk of changes.

Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs) - Active population-based laboratory surveillance for invasive bacterial diseases

Detailed Description of Changes

1. 2015 ABCs Case Report Form

There is no impact on burden due to the changes on this form. The changes include:

1. Question 32, Receipt of pneumococcal vaccine

   • Directions below checkboxes will be changed to ‘If between ≥ 3 months and <5 years of age and an isolate is available for serotyping, please complete the Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Children expanded form’

2. 2015 ABCs Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Children Case Report Form

Burden is decreasing as data elements have been removed from the data collection tool

These changes include:

1. Removed capture of manufacturer and vaccine name for Diptheria/Tetanus/Pertussis (DTP or DTaP)

2. Removed capture of manufacturer and vaccine name for Haemophilis influenza type B (Hib)

3. Removed rows capturing influenza immunizations

4. Added section on data sources for vaccination history, including

   • What information source was used to identify the health provider

   • How many health providers were contacted

   • What information sources were used to obtain vaccination history

3. 2015 ABCs Non-Bacteremic Case Report Form Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs), a part of the Emerging Infections Program (EIP) network, is an active, laboratory, and population-based surveillance system. It is used to determine the incidence and epidemiological characteristics of invasive disease due to group A Streptococcus (GAS), group B Streptococcus (GBS), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Neisseria meningitidis, at 10 sites located throughout the United States. Since ABCs surveillance began in 1995, a case of invasive bacterial disease has been defined as isolation from culture of one of these pathogens from a normally sterile site in a resident of the surveillance area. Data from ABCs have been used to inform the development of vaccines, to inform the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations for their use and to evaluate their effectiveness after recommendations for use are in place.

On August 13, 2014, ACIP recommended routine use of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) among adults aged ≥65 years in series with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23).1 Both vaccines have demonstrated efficacy against invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in placebo-controlled trials. One of the determining factors for recommending PCV13 to adults aged ≥65 years was its demonstrated 45% efficacy (95% confidence interval=14-65%) against vaccine-type non-bacteremic (i.e. non-invasive) pneumococcal pneumonia (NBPP) in a placebo-controlled trial conducted in the Netherlands.2 Evidence is less clear as to whether PPSV23 is effective against NBPP. The incidence of NBPP and the effectiveness of PCV13 vaccine against NBPP have a major influence on determining which vaccine or combination of vaccines would provide the greatest health benefits at the lowest costs. Given these and other considerations, ABCs Non-Bacteremic surveillance responds to the ACIP recommendations for the need to re-evaluate the pneumococcal vaccine policy for adults in 2018.

Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet)

Minor revisions have been made to the FoodNet surveillance tool since the last change approval in 2014; however the changes did not result in a change to estimated burden hours for those forms.

Detailed Description of Changes

• Expanded the list of responses for ‘AgClinicTestType’ to reflect new tests that are now being used in clinical labs.

• Added two new variables related to culture-independent testing for STEC:

  • DXO157

  • DXO157TestType

• Added the following new variables to capture case exposure information to be used for attribution estimates. These variables were developed by a working group consisting of CDC and state health department sites over a two-year period. Variables were pilot-tested in 4 sites for a three-month period for Salmonella and Campylobacter cases.

• A question was added to capture the type of address provided for the patient.

• Additional questions were added to capture additional patient provider contact information.

• To better capture information on where the patient resided at the time of, additional residence type options for question C13 were added.

• Questions regarding Influenza testing results were updated to include new influenza testing types and corresponding result options.

• To better capture information regarding signs/symptoms at the time of admission, question E2 was rephrased to list signs/symptoms as they appear in medical chart – but original intent of question was preserved.

Question on 2014-15 Consent Form

Hello. My name is __________ from the _____[state] Department of Public Health. May I speak to ______ [patient’s name /parent of [child’s name] ] . We are working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health departments to learn more about influenza disease or the flu. To do this, we are talking to people who have been in the hospital with the flu. We want to look at things that may affect their illness and whether they were vaccinated against the flu. Because you/your child [or NAME if speaking with proxy] were in the hospital for the flu beginning on _______[day admitted], I would like to ask you a few questions about whether you/your child [or NAME if speaking with proxy] received the flu vaccine this season. This will take about five minutes. Your participation is voluntary and if you choose to refuse it will not affect any medical care or benefits you receive. All of your responses will be kept confidential as much as the law allows. You may refuse to answer any questions and may stop at any time. This information will help [State/Local Health Department] and CDC better describe influenza-associated hospitalizations. Additionally, this information may help us improve vaccination recommendations for flu and better protect the public’s health. There is no other benefit to you for answering these questions. There is also no risk to you. If you have any questions about the study, you may call _____[state contact] at the Department of Public Health at XXX-XXX-XXXX. Do you have any questions before I begin? May I continue with this interview? □ Yes □ No If YES, go to Appendix F. If NO: Thank you for your time. Have a good day
