Proposed Project
Determining Causes of Sudden,
Unexpected Infant Death: A National
Survey of U.S. Medical Examiners and
Coroners—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
To explore how medical examiners
and coroners interpret and report
sudden unexpected and unexplained
infant deaths and the extent to which
interpretation and reporting practices
vary across the U.S., CDC’s National
Center on Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion proposes to
conduct a one-time mail survey. The
proposed activity is part of CDC’s
mission, as described in Section 241 of
the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C.
241].
Jurisdictions that are invited to
participate in the survey will be selected
with probability proportional to the
number of SUID-related deaths that they
reported in 2005–2009. Interviewers
will telephone receptionists or operators
in 800 medical examiners’/coroners’
offices to verify the names and contact
information for individuals who certify
infant deaths. Paper surveys will then
be distributed to approximately 720
coroners and 80 medical examiners by
mail. Surveys will take about 30
minutes to complete and will contain
questions about infant death
interpretation and reporting practices
and respondents’ background and
jurisdiction characteristics. We
anticipate that approximately 80% of
prospective respondents (576 coroners
and 64 medical examiners) will return
a completed survey. All survey
responses will be maintained in a secure
manner.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated burden hours are 387.

forms include component specific
monthly reporting plan, prevention
process measures monthly monitoring,
patient influenza vaccination, and
patient influenza vaccination
denominator forms. The Outpatient
Procedure Component consists of four
new forms: Component specific annual
survey, monthly reporting plan, event,
and monthly denominators and
summary forms.
Further, the breadth of organism
susceptibility data required on all of the
healthcare-associated infection (HAI)
report forms (i.e., BSI, UTI, SSI, PNEU
(VAP and VAE), DE, LTUTI, and MDRO
Infection Surveillance) has been
reduced for the purposes of
streamlining, simplification, and
removing undue burden where possible.
Significant changes were made to the
NHSN Biovigilance Component forms as
a result of a subject matter expert and
stakeholder working groups. This
includes the removal of the monthly
incident summary form. A brand new
form was added (Form 57.600—State
Health Department Validation Record)
to collect aggregate validation results
that will be gathered by state health
departments when conducting facilitylevel validation of NHSN healthcareassociated infection (HAI) data within
their jurisdictions using the CDC/NHSN
Validation Guidance and Toolkits.
Additionally, minor revisions have
been made to 32 other forms within the
package to clarify and/or update
surveillance definitions.
The previously approved NSHN
package included 48 individual
collection forms; the current revision
request adds nine new forms and
removes one form for a total of 56 forms.
The reporting burden will increase by
542,122 hours, for a total of 4,104,776
hours.
among private and public stakeholders
to support local and national efforts to
protect patients and promote healthcare
safety. Specifically, the data is used to
determine the magnitude of various
healthcare-associated adverse events
and trends in the rates of these events
among patients and healthcare workers
with similar risks. The data will be used
to detect changes in the epidemiology of
adverse events resulting from new and
current medical therapies and changing
risks. The NHSN consists of six
components: Patient Safety, Healthcare
Personnel Safety, Biovigilance, LongTerm Care Facility (LTCF), Dialysis, and
Outpatient Procedure.
The new Dialysis Component was
developed in order to separate reporting
of dialysis events from the Patient
Safety Component. The new component
will tailor the NHSN user interface for
dialysis users to simplify their data
entry and analyses processes as well as
provide options for expanding the
Dialysis Component in the future to
include dialysis surveillance in settings
other than outpatient facilities.
The new Outpatient Procedure
Component was developed to gather
data on the impact of infections and
other outcomes related to outpatient
procedures that are performed in
settings such as Ambulatory Surgery
Centers (ASCs), Hospital Outpatient
Departments (HOPDs), and physicians’
offices. Three event types will be
monitored in this new component:
Same Day Outcome Measures,
Prophylactic Intravenous (IV) Antibiotic
Timing, and Surgical Site Infections
(SSI).
This revision submission includes
two new NHSN components and their
corresponding forms. The Dialysis
Component consists of changes to three
previously approved forms and the
addition of four new forms. These new
