More recently, automated alerting and data collection for case-patients with reportable diseases (e.g., a positive blood culture result with gram-negative diplococci triggers an alert with case-patient contact information to infection preventionists, local health department staff, or both) has been shown to increase reporting rates when applied to traditional passive surveillance systems (22, 23 ).
Effectively implementing safe surgery practices should result in a reduction in serious reportable event (SRE) rates.
Another variable in estimating the rate of reportable incidental findings is the thoroughness with which a disease and gene have been studied.
Compared to the 1% rate of reportable incidental findings observed for the 23 of the 56 genes analyzed by Johnston et al. and the 1.2 3.4% rate for 114 genes analyzed by Dorschner et al., we find a higher rate of reportable incidental findings.
This increased rate of reportable incidental findings could arise for several reasons including 1) increased coverage and quality of sequencing of the exome, 2) differences in variant selection, 3) differences in the subject cohort or 4) higher frequency of reportable variants in the ACMG recommended genes compared to the previously studied genes.
To determine rates of reportable bacterial infections among infants in New York City and identify populations at risk and preventable causes of morbidity.
Together with national surveillance data, MSM-specific incidence rates for reportable sexually transmitted infections can be estimated [ 2, 3].
In San Francisco, young women under age 25 account for the highest heterosexually transmitted incidence rates of reportable sexually transmitted diseases (STD), such as Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhea (GC) [ 8].
Only three reportable injuries have occurred, a rate that is significantly lower than the 23 from last year's five-day race.
The assay reportable range was <0.25 1000 ng/mL.
4 However, the rate of non-reportable results, depending on the inclusion criteria for pregnant women and technical protocol used, ranged from 1%5%%.
