Strengthening the US Response to Resistant Gonorrhea (renamed as Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Gonorrhea and Other STIs (CARGOS))

Approved OMB No. 0920-1242 Exp. Date 4/30/2025

NARRATIVE Description of Changes:

Changes requested are intended to improve efficiency, clarity, and flow for recipients participating in Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Gonorrhea and Other STIs (CARGOS), which will take the place of two existing projects: Strengthening the US Response to Resistant Gonorrhea (SURRG) (OMB No. 0920-1242) and the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP) (OMB No. 0920-0307). None of the changes requested will increase reporting burden. Combining the two projects will streamline data collection significantly, and improve data collection and quality. Content collected by both projects has been consolidated for simplicity, and many variables have been dropped to reduce data collection burden.

CARGOS Data Element #0920-1242	Previous SURRG Data Element #0920-1242	Previous GISP/eGISP Data Element #0920-0307	Proposed Change	Rationale
CARGOS_SPEC_ID: Unique Specimen ID consisting of sentinel site code + YYYYMM (month isolate collected) + isolate number (001 through 999) generated at the clinic/lab. If a patient has more than one specimen on the same date, the CARGOS_SPEC_ID will be the unique identifier for each specimen. Note: This CARGOS_SPEC_ID must be included on the specimen sent to the ARLN and will be used to link laboratory, clinic, and epi investigation data. Ex: ABC-202301-001 ABC-202301-199	SURRG_SPEC_ID: Unique, site-created ID consisting of 3 character sentinel site code + locally assigned specimen ID (no hyphen or space); 18 character limit	GISP_SPEC_ID: To maintain consistency for sentinel sites who are also funded for GISP activities, isolates from the first 25 male patients with gonococcal urethritis will be considered “GISP isolates”; therefore, eGISP sites that are also GISP sites should assign and maintain a GISP ID locally constructed by concatenating the variables of sentinel site code+year month+GISP isolate ID number, separated by hyphens. e.g., NYC-201703-07 eGISP_SPEC_ID: For all isolates collected, sites should assign and maintain an eGISP/SURRG specimen ID for all isolates, constructed using the 3 letter sentinel site code + local PHL accession number (no hyphens or spaces).	Name change only. Using previous GISP/eGISP formatting for all specimens.	ID for specimens.
SITE: 3 character sentinel site code	SENT_SITE: 3 character sentinel site code	CLINIC: 3 character sentinel site code	None.
PATIENTID: Unique patient/person identification number; 18 character limit. ID must be unique per person and cannot include any personally identifiable information (PII). CARGOS grantees may elect to have this ID match the unique patient ID generated from their NEDDS Surveillance system for GC-positive patients or other unique patient ID. Note: This patient ID must be the same as the patient ID attached to CARGOS isolates sent to the ARLN and will be used to link all laboratory, clinical, and epi investigation data.	PATIENTID: This ID must be unique per person, up to 18 characters in length, and allow for longitudinal tracking of patients. The Patient ID will be used to relate associated specimen(s) to each patient in transmission to the ARLN and later link a patient’s laboratory results to their epidemiologic data. Note: Cannot include any personally identifiable information (PII).	PATIENT_ID: An eGISP patient identifier should be created which is unique within the jurisdiction, remain consistent across visits and the life cycle of eGISP, and not contain personally identifiable information (PII).	None.
EVENTID: Unique ID required to distinguish each GC diagnosis/infection in order to properly link data between the Lab and Clinical table. EVENTID will be generated from the Case ID found in the state surveillance system that corresponds to the patient's lab test result and reported morbidity. This ID is up to 18 characters in length.	EVENTID: Case ID/Event ID of case. Event identifier distinguishes each GC diagnosis, or for GC-negative contacts, each clinic testing visit event. This ID stays the same for the entire GC event, which could include testing, treatment, and TOC visits. This ID up to 18 characters in length.		Using local surveillance case ID to distinguish each GC diagnosis.	This ID is needed to allow for multiple specimens to be collected from one patient visit. The ID is created locally as part of standard operating procedures.
LAB_GENDER: Gender 1=Male 2=Female 3=Female-to-male transgender (FTM) 4=Male-to-female transgender (MTF) 5=Other gender identity (including: non-binary, transgender unspecified, etc.) 8=Refused to Answer 9=Unknown	LAB_GENDER: Gender 1=Male 2=Female 3=Female-to-male transgender (FTM) 4=Male-to-female transgender (MTF) 5=Other gender identity (including: non-binary, transgender unspecified, etc.) 8=Refused to Answer 9=Unknown	PATIENT_GENDER: Patient gender 1=male 2=female 3=trans male 4=trans female 5=non-binary/trans other 9=unknown	None.

Removed “GC” to allow for collection of specimens for other STIs.
NMENING: Isolate presumed to be N. meningitidis. Isolates are suggestive of N. meningitidis when they have “discordant results” demonstrated by bacterial growth on culture consistent with N. gonorrhoeae (positive culture) and have a negative gonorrhea NAAT result. In the case of urethral specimens, the isolate should demonstrate Gram-negative intracellular diplococci by microscopy but have a negative gonorrhea NAAT result. Please note: Variable used to identify isolates presumed to be N. meningitidis. For all isolates presumed to be N. meningitidis, select response option "1" and leave DATESENTARLN blank. For all N. gonorrhoeae isolates, leave null. 1= Presumed N. meningitidis isolate		POSSIBLE_NM: Isolate suspected to be N. meningitides. A possible N. meningitidis isolate is considered when an isolate has (i) the growth of typical appearing N. gonorrhoeae colonies with typical morphologies (e.g., small, transparent) on a selective medium such as Thayer-Martin at 35o C to 36.5o C in 5% CO2, (ii) a positive oxidase test, (iii) the observation of Gram-negative, oxidase-positive diplococci in stained smears and (iv) a negative NAAT result. If additional testing is performed to confirm the species of the isolate, this information can also be used to make a determination. 1=isolate may be N. meningitides 2=isolate has been positively identified as N. gonorrhoeae	Revised variable definition for clarity and removed second response option. Variable designed for sites to indicate isolates submitted because suspected to be N. meningitides.	Modified variable name and definition to make reporting isolates submitted for possible N. meningitides easier for sites. Previous procedures often resulted in erroneous reports.
