This information is designed to provide service members, their families, veterans, the general public, and other concerned citizens with the most comprehensive and accurate figures available regarding diagnosed cases of TBI within the U.S. military. Information is collected from electronic medical records and analyzed by the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center in cooperation with the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center. Numbers for the current year will be updated on a quarterly basis. Other data will be updated annually. At this time, the MHS is unable to provide information regarding cause of injury or location because that information is not available in most medical records. The numbers represent actual medical diagnoses of TBI within the U.S. Military. Other, larger numbers routinely reported in the media must be considered inaccurate because they do not reflect actual medical diagnoses. Many of these larger numbers are developed utilizing sources such as the Post Deployment Health Assessment (PDHA) or Post Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHRA). However, these documents are assessment tools with TBI screening questions and are not diagnostic tools.

The Enterprise Geospatial Information Services system (eGIS) is a set of web-based applications and services. The Map Viewer application is designed to display data from multiple data sources spatially. The Universal Location Point Selector (ULPS) application will be used by transactional applications to support the depiction and display of the location associated with an incident, event or asset. The eGIS data services can be used by authorized personnel to view data in desktop/web applications and to create maps, identify patterns and trends and enhance traditional tabular reporting capabilities. The eGIS system is supported by a SQL Server 2005 geospatially enabled database and ESRI ArcSDE software. ArcSDE supports the management of the geospatial data contained with the DBMS. The eGIS database is considered the data asset. The eGIS system also displays data from the Border Enforcement Data that has been imported from various transactional systems, but that data is not housed within the eGIS database.

This table shows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) risk adjusted standardized infection ratios (SIR) for surgical site infections (SSIs) reported by hospitals for 24 operative procedures that are listed in the Data Dictionary. The SIR is calculated by dividing the number of observed infections by the number of predicted infections. The number of predicted infections is calculated using SSI probabilities estimated from multivariate logistic regression models constructed from NHSN data during a baseline time period 2006 through 2008, which represents a reference population’s SSI experience. To enforce a minimum precision criterion, an SIR is calculated only if the number of observed infections is at least one. SIRs are based on the date of procedure, not the date of the SSI event. All procedure and infection data entered before May 1, 2014 for surgical procedures performed between January 1 and December 31, 2013 were downloaded from NHSN for this data release. The SIR used for this table is a risk adjusted SIR that considers only complex SSI identified during hospital admission or readmission to the same hospital following inpatient surgeries. The procedure counts and infection counts submitted by each hospital are displayed along with an SIR, the 95 percent confidence interval for the SIR, and the statistical comparison as follows: * No difference - no difference in number of observed and predicted infections • High - more infections than predicted, or • Low - fewer infections than predicted To link the CDPH facility IDs with those from other Departments, like OSHPD, please reference the "Licensed Facility Cross-Walk" Open Data table at https://chhs.data.ca.gov/Facilities-and-Services/Licensed-Facility-Cross...

The California Tobacco Control Program coordinates statewide tobacco control efforts and funds the California Student Tobacco Survey (CSTS). The data table shows the current smoking prevalence from 2001 to 2012 for California high school youth by Race/Ethnicity - African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, and non-Hispanic White. Current cigarette smoking was defined as having smoked on one or more days during the past 30 days prior to the survey. In statistics, a confidence interval is a measure of the reliability of an estimate. It is a type of interval estimate of a population parameter. The CSTS is a large-scale biennial survey, in-school student survey administered to middle (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12) students. Topics of the survey include tobacco-use behavior, beliefs about the health consequences of using tobacco products from cigarettes, smokeless, to kreteks (clove/tobacco cigarettes), exposure to tobacco education in schools, and exposure to tobacco advertising. The survey provides coverage of topics such as smoking behaviors, attitudes, knowledge, and awareness about tobacco and tobacco use prevention.
