EPIDEMIOLOGY

Concern: EpidemicWebster’s New Collegiate Dictionary:

“Medical science treating of epidemics”New standard dictionary of English

Language:” the science or doctrine of epidemics”

Stedman’s Practical Medical Dictionary: “the science of epidemics and endemic diseases”

The American College Dictionary: “That branch of medicine dealing with epidemic diseases.”

EPIDEMIOLOGY

Concern: All Infectious Diseases Stallybass: “The science of infective diseases, their

primary causes propagation and prevention.” Frost:”The science of the mass phenomena of

infectious diseases or the natural history of infectious diseases.”

Frost2: “ a science which will give, firstly, a picture of the occurrence distribution and the types of the infectious diseases of mankind, in distinct epochs of time and at various points of the earth’s surface; and secondly, will render an account of the relations of these diseases to the external surroundings of the individual and determining his manner of life.”

EPIDEMIOLOGY

Concern: Infectious and Non InfectiousGreenwood: “The study of disease, as a mass phenomenon.”Lumsden: “The study of conditions known or reasonably supposed to

influence the prevalence of disease.”American Epidemiological Society: “The science which concerns itself

with the natural history of disease as it is expressed in groups of persons related by some common factors of age, sex, race, location or occupation, as distinct from the development of diseases in an individual”

Hilleboe: “ a science of mass phenomena of diseases and human defects; it delineates significant variations of these phenomena in time and place and draws upon statistical methods and theory, all phases of medicine, and the natural science to give true picture of the occurrence, distribution and types of diseases or defects; it weighs the importance of variations of human traits and renders an account of the causal relationships of diseases or defects to the environmental factors surrounding the individuals under observations, representatives of the group from which they are drawn.

EPIDEMIOLOGY

Concern: Ecology of Health and Disease

Maxcy: that field of medical science which is concerned with the relationships of the various factors and conditions which determine the frequency and distribution of an infectious disease, a process, or a physiologic state in a human community”

EPIDEMIOLOGY

Three Greek word roots make up the word epidemiology -- epi, demos, and logos. Epi means upon, on or over. Demos means people or populace. And logos can mean study, word, discourse, count, tell, say, or speak.

Clinical Epidemiology is defined as the “study of groups of people to achieve the background evidence needed for clinical decisions in patient care.” (White, 1996).

EPIDEMIOLOGY

CONCERNING ON: -Epidemic-All infectious Disease-Infectious and Non Infectious-Ecology of Health and Disease

Agent, host and Environment

Primary point of interest in epidemiology is what happens to the host-whether it gets sick or not, whether it becomes a carrier, a source or a reservoir. To a greater extent, a fair deal of information about the agent can be gathered by studying the host reaction to it.

-Remigio Mercado MD,MPHEpidemiology for the health administrator 1998, 2nd Edition

Agent, host and Environment

“ Social work is the profession which is concerned with man’s adjustment to his environment------“social functioning”-roles

MAJOR SOURCES OF PHILIPPINE HEALTH INFORMATION

Lead Agency Major Sources Description, frequency and latest available data

Limitations and common problems

National Statistics Office

National Demographic and Health survey

NSO household-based survey collected every 5 years.(2003)

High Cost of conducting national population surveys

Maternal and Child

NSO household-based regular survey among female members aged 15 to 49 years who have surviving children below three years of age (MCHS, 2001)

Important indicators are sometimes not reported (MMRinNDHS 2003)




Family Planning FPS

NSO based survey that collects data on prenatal and postpartum care, protection at birth against neonatal,tetanus, breastfeeding, and immunization (FPS, 2004)

None

Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI)

National Nutrition Survey (NNS)

FNRI based survey collected every 4-5 years (NNS, 2003)

High cost of conducting the survey especially the clinical phase

MAJOR SOURCES OF PHILIPPINE HEALTH INFORMATIONLead Agency Major Sources Description,

frequency and latest available data


National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB)

National health Accounts (NHA)

Annual tracking of all sources of finances for health and how funds are utilized (NHA,2003)

Categorization of Sources and uses of funds being harmonized with international standards

Local Health Accounts

The LGU data system is more responsive to the requirements of the LHA than that of the National Government Agencies

Needs to improve estimates of out of pocket expenditures.Local Health accounts not yet institutionalized.Initial estimates available for years 1998-2000 are for six provinces only.




Department of Health

Special Surveys contracted out or DOH special studies and researches

Baseline Survey for National Objectives for Health (BSNOH) is a special survey conducted to established baseline for NOH 2000-2004.Comprise of nationwide community household ,health institutions, health providers, schools and workplace surveys.(BSNOH, 2000)Other studies such as National Tuberculosis Prevalence Survey NTPS , 1997,national disability survey, 2004,national diabetes Survey, 2003.

High cost of conducting national baseline surveys and special studies. No regional or provincial disaggregation. Low dissemination of the results




Field health Service Information System (FHSIS)

Major health information system of the Philippine health system that collects health accomplishments, delivery of health services, and morbidity reports from RHU’s to National Epidemiology Center, DOH (FHIS, 2002)

Passive reporting system of notifiable diseases publication due to non-compliance of some LGUsorincompleteness of data Information under utilized at LGU levels and national program planning Indicators have not be standardized; frequent changes in what is to be reported




National Epidemiology Sentinel Surveillance System (NESSS)

NESSS is a hospital-based system for monitoring 14 infectious diseases with epidemic potential (Cholera, typhoid, malaria, hepatitis A and B., Dengue, diphtheria, leptospirosis, measles, meningococcal disease, neonatal and non neonatal tetanus, pertussis, and rabies

Private facility data sources not comprehensive.lt covered laboratory diagnosis is costly




HIV serologic surveillance (HSS) and Behavioral Sentinel Surveillance (BSS)

Active HIV serologic surveillance (HSS) among high risk groups in key cities that started in 1993 combined with prevalence of risk behaviors among the most at risks behaviors among the most at risks population in 2005

Limited to 10 sentinel sites due to-Funding is external; Limited funding from national and local government
