Infection Case Intelligence

Determinants of diseases · source terminology from the additional requirements

Data not available

The two antibiograms report microbiology isolates, not unique patients or infection episodes. No infection case counts, diagnoses, demographics, risk factors, genomic findings or length of stay are supplied.

STI

Sexually transmitted infections

Infection may be asymptomatic. Overlaps with STD, which refers to disease manifestations.

Cases: Data not available

UTI

Urinary tract infections

Urinary tract infection episodes require clinical diagnoses, not just positive urine isolates.

Cases: Data not available

URTI

Upper respiratory tract infections

Includes bacterial and viral infections; an antibiogram cannot enumerate these episodes.

Cases: Data not available

STDs

Sexually transmitted diseases

Source terminology retained separately from STI. Symptomatic disease and infection overlap; avoid double-counting.

Cases: Data not available

GI

Gastrointestinal infections

Gastrointestinal system category; requires validated infection diagnoses and specimen linkage.

Cases: Data not available

CVS

Cardiovascular system

System abbreviation, not a specific infection diagnosis; case inclusion criteria require source confirmation.

Cases: Data not available

NMSK

Neuromusculoskeletal system

Provisional expansion of source abbreviation; confirm the intended definition against the original Slide 11.

Cases: Data not available

Required future clinical sources

Required fieldCurrent statusRequired source
Case counts, year, categoryData not availableClinical diagnosis registry / EHR; unique episode definitions and deduplication
Clinical department, geographic locationData not availableEncounter and facility registry linked to each diagnosed episode

Original Slide 11 is not available in this upload set. Categories are retained exactly from your supplement. NMSK expansion and case definitions require confirmation; STI and STDs must not be summed as distinct populations.
