The "Preliminary Look into the Icd9/10 Transition Impact on Public Health Surveillance" roundtable will provide a forum for the syndromic surveillance Community of Practice (CoP) to discuss the public health impacts from the ICD-10-CM conversion, and to support jurisdictional public health practices with this transition. The discussion will be aimed at identifying conversion challenges, solutions, and best practices.

Level Data

Implemented 10 years ago, the French syndromic surveillance system Oscour, based on emergency departments, has been assessed using four major evaluation criteria in syndromic surveillance: stability and regularity of data transmission, the coverage at the national level, data quality, particularly for medical information and the utility of the system for the public health surveillance. In 2014, about 40,000 daily attendances are extracted automatically from 600 ED departments located all over the territory, covering 80% of the national attendances. About 12,800 different ICD10 codes have been used in 2013, enabling a large public health surveillance.

BACKGROUND Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, the public has been eager for news about promising treatments, and social media has played a large role in information dissemination. OBJECTIVE In this paper, our objectives are to characterize the public discussion of treatments on Twitter, and demonstrate the utility of these discussions for public health surveillance. METHODS We pulled tweets related to three promising COVID-19 treatments (hydroxychloroquine, remdevisir and convalescent plasma), between the dates of February 28th and May 22nd using the Twitter public API. We characterize treatment tweet trends over this time period. RESULTS Most major tweet/retweet/sentiment trends correlated to public announcement made by the white house and/or to new clinical trial evidence about treatments. Most of the websites people shared in treatment-related tweets were non-scientific media sources that leaned conservative. Hydroxychloroquine was the most discussed treatment on Twitter, and over 10% of hydroxychloroquine tweets mentioned an adverse drug reaction. CONCLUSIONS There is a gap between the public’s attention/discussion around COVID-19 treatments and their evidence. Twitter data can and should be used public health surveillance during this pandemic, as it is informative for monitoring adverse drug reactions, especially as many people avoid going to hospitals/doctors.

Most of the websites people shared in treatment-related tweets were non-scientific, ideological media sources that leaned conservative. Hydroxychloroquine was the most discussed treatment on Twitter. There is a gap between the public attention/discussion around COVID-19 treatments and their evidence.
