Study Notes
Sources of Morbidity and Mortality Data
-
Primary Data: Collected by the investigator directly for the specific study. Examples include surveys, interviews, tests, and examinations of subjects. This data is gathered to address specific research questions directly.
-
Secondary Data: Data collected by other researchers for purposes different from the current study. This existing information may be useful for the current investigation. Quality of secondary data may be impacted by the methods used to collect the initial data.
Data Collection Methods
-
Reports of Notifiable Diseases: Legal requirement to report certain diseases to health authorities. Provides weekly morbidity updates for surveillance and monitoring of communicable diseases. Data is collected from various health units (RHUs, CHOs, PHOs, MHOS).
-
Civil Registration of Vital Events:
-
Certificates of Death: Record of the individual's death and cause. Based on clinical diagnosis by a physician and coded using the International Classification of Diseases (Version 11 - ICD-11).
-
Certificates of Live Birth: Record of births, including issues of paternity, which are important for population health statistics.
Important Acts and Regulations
-
Republic Act 11332: Mandates reporting of notifiable diseases and health events. Emphasizes disease control (reduction in incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality) and response (implementation of activities to control outbreaks).
-
Republic Act 3573: Mandates immediate reporting of communicable diseases to local health officers.
Surveillance and Response
- Philippine Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (PIDSR): Created to target identified medical conditions, those prone to epidemics, and those of general public health importance. The goal of surveillance is timely collection, interpretation and dissemination of outcome-specific data related to epidemics, emergencies, or disasters.
Important Concepts
-
Quarantine: Separating and restricting the movement of healthy individuals exposed to communicable diseases. Aims to prevent spread. It is based on a 14-day observation period.
-
Isolation: Separating ill individuals who have a communicable disease from healthy individuals. The goal is to minimize spread.
-
Verbal Autopsy: Used for determining the cause of death when there is no medical attendance. This technique is based on interviews with family members and uses a standard, predefined questionnaire to ascertain signs/symptoms, medical history, and circumstances preceding death.
-
Death Certificate: Permanent record containing details of a death, including the cause(s) as certified by a physician. Used for legal purposes, claims, and health statistics. Important for identifying underlying causes, antecedent causes, and immediate causes, to determine sequences of events in death. "Garbage codes" are not to be used in the certificate.
-
Fetal Death: Occurrence of death prior to complete expulsion of the product of conception. This is different from a miscarriage. There are different standards based on gestation period, and a separate form is needed for fetal deaths at 20 weeks or greater.
-
Periprocedural Death: Death related to a medical procedure. It may be natural (patient was already going to die) or accidental (procedure caused or exacerbated the death). The goal is to distinguish between accidental or negligent procedural deaths from natural or expected ones.
-
Illegitimate/Legitimate/Legitimated Children: Important legal distinctions to determine inheritance and familial rights for children from different types of relationships. Relevant to the completeness of family health records.
