The collection does not involve statistical methods, and the purpose of the collection is not to make statistical generalizations beyond the particular respondents.
The data will be analyzed in coordination with the states/jurisdictions that submit data.
C . auris is a nationally notifiable condition and reportable in many jurisdictions. Cases identified through positive clinical specimens or colonization screening (with testing performed by public health, clinical, or commercial labs) based on the CSTE case definition are reported by laboratories or healthcare facilities to the local or state health department. Information collected for each case from reporting laboratories or healthcare facilities through case investigations by local/state health departments will be submitted to CDC using REDCap. The information submitted will include basic information about patient demographics (e.g., age, sex, location of residence, case type), specimen information (e.g., specimen type, date of collection), location and healthcare facility of specimen collection, and mortality.
As we have close contact with jurisdictions and since C. auris is nationally notifiable, with several jurisdictions deeming C. auris as a reportable disease, we believe that there is strong interest in capturing all cases that are laboratory confirmed.
No pre-tests are planned.
