Estimating State Trends in Congenital Syphilis Cases Averted in the United States, 2010-2023

We estimated potential congenital syphilis (CS) cases averted using the national disease surveillance data and AtlasPlus data. Nationally, over 60% of potential CS cases were averted during 2010-2023, with state variations. Despite an increase in the number of averted cases, the percentage of potential cases averted has declined over time.

Abstract

We estimated potential congenital syphilis (CS) cases averted using the national disease surveillance data and AtlasPlus data. Nationally, over 60% of potential CS cases were averted during 2010-2023, with state variations. Despite an increase in the number of averted cases, the percentage of potential cases averted has declined over time.
