“…Non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics had an adjusted rate of HCV diagnosis approximately 1.5 times greater than that of non-Hispanic whites; this is consistent with the disparity in HCV found among HIV-infected people in NYC overall. 23 Also, more than 1 in 10 HIV/HCV-coinfected MSM had a history of incarceration. This is likely an underestimation due to limitations in ascertainment of incarceration history.…”

“…The methods of the matching process have been described in detail elsewhere. 19 Disease surveillance by the DOHMH is passive, with the reporting of certain diseases being required by NYC's Health Code Article 11. There is a dual-reporting requirement: all NYC providers diagnosing reportable diseases and all clinical laboratories licensed by New York State to test NYC residents are legally required to report cases to the NYC DOHMH.…”

Approximately 20% of Shigella isolates tested in New York City, New York, USA, during 2013–2015 displayed decreased azithromycin susceptibility. Case-patients were older and more frequently male and HIV infected than those with azithromycin-susceptible Shigella infection; 90% identified as men who have sex with men. Clinical interpretation guidelines for azithromycin resistance and outcome studies are needed.

“…4 Presence of gonorrhea, HIV/AIDS, and syphilis records among clients with at least one record of gonorrhea, HIV/AIDS, and syphilis 2014). In both our analysis and the findings from NYC DOHMH, infection with two or more types of diseases was the most common among those with syphilis, followed by gonorrhea (52% in NYC DOHMH) (Drobnik et al 2014). Further analysis is required to explore these results, particularly with respect to the timing of the syphilis or gonorrhea disease events in relation to other STBBI disease types, and the implications this may have for STI prophylaxis and prevention (Molina et al 2018;Tan et al 2017).…”

Setting Syndemics occur when two or more health conditions interact to increase morbidity and mortality and are exacerbated by social, economic, environmental, and political factors. Routine provincial surveillance in Ontario assesses and reports on the epidemiology of single infectious diseases separately. Therefore, we aimed to develop a method that allows disease overlaps to be examined routinely as a path to better understanding and addressing syndemics in Ontario. Intervention We extracted data for individuals with a record of chlamydia, gonorrhea, infectious syphilis, hepatitis B and C, HIV/ AIDS, invasive group A streptococcal disease (iGAS), or tuberculosis in Ontario's reportable disease database from 1990 to 2018. We transformed the data into a person-based integrated surveillance dataset retaining individuals (clients) with at least one record between 2006 and 2018. Outcomes The resulting dataset had 659,136 unique disease records among 470,673 unique clients. Of those clients, 23.1% had multiple disease records with 50 being the most for one client. We described the frequency of disease overlaps; for example, 34.7% of clients with a syphilis record had a gonorrhea record. We quantified known overlaps, finding 1274 clients had gonorrhea, infectious syphilis, and HIV/AIDS records, and potentially emerging overlaps, finding 59 clients had HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and iGAS records. Implications Our novel person-based integrated surveillance dataset represents a platform for ongoing in-depth assessment of disease overlaps such as the relative timing of disease records. It enables a more client-focused approach, is a step towards improved characterization of syndemics in Ontario, and could inform other jurisdictions interested in adopting similar approaches. Résumé Contexte Les syndémiques surviennent lorsque deux ou plusieurs affections interagissent de façon à augmenter la morbidité et la mortalité et sont exacerbées par des facteurs sociaux, économiques, environnementaux et politiques. En Ontario, les services provinciaux de surveillance de routine évaluent et communiquent séparément l'épidémiologie de chaque maladie infectieuse. Par conséquent, nous avons voulu élaborer une méthode permettant d'examiner de façon routinière les chevauchements de maladies comme moyen de mieux comprendre et traiter les syndémiques en Ontario. Intervention Nous avons extrait de la base de données ontarienne sur les maladies à déclaration obligatoire des données concernant des personnes dont le dossier mentionnait la chlamydia, la gonorrhée, la syphilis infectieuse, l'hépatite B et C, le VIH/sida, la maladie invasive à streptocoque du groupe A (SGA) ou la tuberculose de 1990 à 2018. Nous avons transformé les données en un ensemble de données de surveillance intégrée axé sur les personnes (les clients), en retenant celles ayant eu au moins un dossier de 2006 à 2018.
