The proposed project takes a population-based approach to neonatal infection and combines information from a variety of care settings - hospital, outpatient office, and emergency room - in order to delineate the population-based epidemiology of infection in the first month of life. Methods will be developed to link automated hospital records of newborns with their HMO's prenatal and post-discharge records to assess the total occurrence of infection during the neonatal period. There are two important goals to this work. First, the algorithm developed will be generally applicable for use in many health care systems to perform efficient, uniformly interpretable, surveillance for newborn infections. Second, this methodology will be used to study important correlates and causes of infection, with the goal of identifying potentially modifiable factors.

拟议的项目采用基于人群的新生儿感染方法，并结合了来自各种护理机构（医院、门诊部和急诊室）的信息，以描述出生后第一个月内基于人群的感染流行病学。 将开发方法将新生儿的自动化医院记录与其 HMO 的产前和出院后记录联系起来，以评估新生儿期间感染的总发生率。 这项工作有两个重要目标。 首先，所开发的算法将普遍适用于许多医疗保健系统，以对新生儿感染进行有效、统一解释的监测。 其次，该方法将用于研究感染的重要相关因素和原因，目的是确定潜在的可改变因素。
