Study Notes
Sources of Morbidity and Mortality Data
-
Primary Data: Collected directly by the investigator for their specific study objectives.
- Data comes from surveys, interviews, tests, and examinations performed on subjects.
- Aims to determine if participants meet criteria for a particular disease.
- Examples: blood tests, diagnostic procedures, and community health assessments.
-
Secondary Data: Collected by other researchers for different purposes, potentially useful for current investigations.
- Data already exists from previous studies, often uncontrolled by the current investigator.
- May lack specific focus, control over data collection or data classification.
- Data quality may be affected by how it was initially collected.
- Examples: HIV/AIDS registry data from a treatment centre.
Summary of Abbreviations
- RA: Republic Act
- RHU: Rural Health Units
- CHO: City Health Offices

- Surveillance and monitoring of communicable diseases is crucial.
- Reporting typically occurs weekly.
- Data collection happens at different levels, from RHUs to municipality health offices.
Civil Registries of Vital Events
- Includes continuous, compulsory record-keeping of vital events (i.e. birth, death).
- Provides critical data for legal and statistical uses.
- A Certificate of Death records details of an individual's death.
- Essential documentation for claims, inheritance, and insurance benefits.
- Helps determine cause and circumstances of death.
- Special considerations for fetal deaths and deaths involving external injuries
Quarantine vs. Isolation
- Quarantine: Separates and restricts movement of well persons previously exposed to a communicable disease.
- Isolation: Separates ill persons with communicable diseases from the healthy.
Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases
- Diseases that have not occurred in humans before, either recently recognised or have re-emerged.
- Can be caused by new infectious agents or mutated organisms.
- Crucial to monitor and understand these diseases for public health response.
Notifiable Diseases
- Several disease/syndromes categorized as immediately or weekly notifiable.
Civil Registries and Vital Events
- Accurate record-keeping of various vital events is crucial for epidemiological studies.
- This allows for the tracking of occurrences of specific diseases, conditions and also conditions related to disease.
- Recording is often mandatory and is completed in specific, standardized forms.
Certificate of Death
- Crucial for accurate recording of causes of death.
- Includes necessary data on causes of death, medical information and time information
- Accurate information used to track patterns and trends in mortality.
Ill-Defined and Non-Specific Causes of Death
- Ill-defined conditions are vague and less useful for epidemiological studies
- Often lack specific details on cause.
- Should not be used as underlying causes on certificates of death.
Fetal Death
- Death prior to complete expulsion of a pregnancy product.
- For fetuses 20 weeks and older, different forms must be completed
Death from Infectious Diseases
