Description
Background: Surveillance is the continuous scrutiny of the factors that determine the occurrence and distribution of disease and other conditions of ill health. IDSP is a decentralized state based surveillance programme, wherein weekly disease surveillance data on epidemic prone disease are being collected from several reporting units. The objective of the study is to determine the clinico-epidemiology of the communicable diseases covered under IDSP. Materials and Methods: Data collection will be started after obtaining clearance from the college Ethics committee. This is a record based study. Data from all the records satisfying the inclusion criteria will be collected on a weekly basis (Monday to Sunday) and analyzed for their completeness and thoroughness in recording and notification. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software and will be presented in the form of tables and figures. Results: A total of 2716 patients were admitted over a period of 12 months from January 2016 to December 2016. Of these, 963 (35.45%) cases were due to the communicable disease covered under IDSP which comprised of 535 (55.6%) males and 428 (44.4%) females. Data was analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0. Conclusion: Cases entered in the IDSP P forms should be given codes on the respective case sheets to avoid reentry of data. Definitions delineating upper respiratory tract infections from lower respiratory tract infections should be explained. This helps in avoiding misclassifications and re- reporting of cases.
