1 Core 3 Update: Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Aron J. Hall, DVM, MSPH Centers for Disease Control and Prevention NoroCORE Full Collaborative & Stakeholder Meeting, Dallas, TX October 30, 2014

2 Core 3: Purpose and Personnel Purpose: Collect and analyze population data on norovirus disease burden, including epidemiologic attribution, risk, and costs Co-PDs: Aron Hall (CDC), Christine Moe (Emory), Steve Beaulieu (RTI) Collaborators: NC State, Arizona State, U of Cincinnati, FDA, Kaiser Permanente, FoodNet, Veterans Affairs, NVSN, CHOA

3 Core 3: Activities 3.1: Develop and apply quantitative risk models 3.2: Estimate economic burden of foodborne HuNoV outbreaks 3.3: Estimate endemic norovirus disease burden 3.4: Estimate epidemic norovirus disease burden 3.5: Prepare preliminary norovirus epidemiologic attribution model

4 Activity 3.3: Estimate Endemic Norovirus Disease Burden Active healthcare-based surveillance for gastroenteritis patients New Vaccine Surveillance Network of pediatric hospitals- Ongoing Passive laboratory-based surveillance of routinely submitted specimens Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMC)- Ongoing Kaiser Permanente (KP) outpatient clinics- Ongoing See poster by Grytdal et al Indirect modeling of national administrative datasets- Completed National Center for Health Statistics Multiple-Cause Mortality Commercial, Medicare, & Medicaid healthcare claims (MarketScan)

9 Activity 3.4: Estimate Epidemic Norovirus Disease Burden Characterize the national burden of epidemic norovirus- Ongoing Monitor temporal trends and emergent strain impacts- Ongoing Identify priority settings and populations for interventions- Ongoing

10 Norovirus Outbreak Surveillance Systems in the United States NORS Epidemiologic surveillance for all enteric disease outbreaks Data on setting, transmission mode, exposures, demographics, outcomes CaliciNet Laboratory surveillance using molecular genotyping of outbreakassociated specimens Data on genotypes to identify new strains and potentially link outbreaks Norovirus Sentinel Testing and Tracking (NoroSTAT) Enhanced reporting through NORS and CaliciNet in five states (MN, OH, OR, TN, WI) Report suspected norovirus outbreaks within 7 days of notification of the outbreak to the state health department See poster by Wikswo et al

11 Outbreak Surveillance Enhancements Improved NORS data accessibility- Ongoing Data downloaded by state and local users in a variety of file formats and database structures Expansion of public access FOOD tool to include all transmission modes and data visualization Direct NORS data upload from existing state databases- Ongoing Eliminate double entry by state epidemiologists Improve system acceptability and reporting rates Extensive NORS user interface changes- Completed NORS-CaliciNet data integration- Ongoing

12 Activity 3.5: Prepare Preliminary Norovirus Epidemiological Attribution Model Descriptive attribution of norovirus outbreaks- Ongoing Modes of transmission (e.g., % foodborne) Setting of exposure and food preparation Food commodities and contamination factors Genotype (through NORS-CaliciNet integration) Develop a model to predict the impact of specific interventions on US disease burden- Ongoing
