Breastfeeding Trends and Updated National Health Objectives for Exclusive Breastfeeding - United States, Birth Years 2000—2004
To monitor progress toward achieving HP2010 breastfeeding objectives, CDC analyzed data from the National Immunization Survey. This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that rates for breastfeeding initiation and duration increased among infants born during 2000-2004. Rates for exclusive breastfeeding through ages 3 months and 6 months among infants born in 2004 were 30.5% and 11.3%, respectively, below targets set by HP2010. Rates of exclusive breastfeeding were significantly lower among black infants (compared with white infants) and infants born to unmarried mothers (compared with married mothers). Additionally, older age, urban residence, higher education, and higher income of mothers all were positively associated with exclusive breastfeeding. Further research is needed to identify successful programs and policies to support exclusive breastfeeding, especially among subgroups with the lowest rates.

Deaths: Final Data for 2004
This report presents final 2004 data on U.S. deaths; death rates; life expectancy; infant and maternal mortality; and trends by selected characteristics such as age, sex, Hispanic origin, race, marital status, educational attainment, injury at work, state of residence, and cause of death. In 2004, life expectancy for females was 80.4 years, a 0.4-year increase from 2003, and life expectancy for males was 75.2 years, a 0.5-year increase from the previous year. The increase in life expectancy for females could have been greater were it not for the offsetting effect of increases in mortality from accidents, suicide, and Alzheimer’s disease. The 15 leading causes of death in 2004 accounted for 82.7 percent of all deaths in the United States. In 2004, a total of 540 women were reported to have died of maternal causes, an increase of 45 deaths from the 2003 total. The maternal mortality rate for 2004 was 13.1 deaths per 100,000 live births. Black women have a substantially higher risk of maternal death than white women. The maternal mortality rate for black women was 34.7 deaths per 100,000 live births, roughly 3.7 times the rate of 9.3 for white women. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr55/nvsr55_19.pdf

Updated Fact Sheet: HIV/AIDS Among Hispanics/Latinos
The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a serious threat to the Hispanic/Latino community. In addition to being a population seriously affected by HIV, Hispanics/Latinos continue to face challenges in accessing health care, prevention services, and HIV treatment. In 2004, HIV/AIDS was the fourth leading cause of death among Hispanic/Latino men and women aged 35 to 44.

QuickStats: Percentage of Adults Aged >18 Years Who Reported Ever Being Tested for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),* by Sex and Race/Ethnicity - National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2006
Among both men and women, non-Hispanic blacks (51.6% of men and 53.5% of women) were more likely to report ever being tested for HIV than Hispanics (35.7% of men and 46.1% of women) and non-Hispanic whites (30.5% of men and 33.5% of women). Overall, women (37.8%) were more likely than men (33.7%) to report ever being tested for HIV.

QuickStats: Prevalence of HPV* Infection^† Among Sexually Active Females Aged 14-59 Years, by Age Group - National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, United States, 2003—2004
Among sexually active females (i.e., 57% of females aged 14-19 years and 97% of those aged 20-59 years), the prevalence of HPV infection was highest for those in the youngest age groups (i.e., approximately 40% in those aged 14-19 years and 50% in those aged 20-24 years). Prevalence declined substantially after age 24 years.

Medications: Information for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women
As additional research is published, it is increasingly important that women talk with their doctor about the risks and benefits of taking prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and dietary or herbal supplements before getting pregnant, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding. A survey in the U.S. in 1998–99 found that 46% of women in their childbearing years took a prescription medicine during the previous week. So, it is important that we know more about which medications may be harmful during pregnancy and breastfeeding and which are not.

Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease After Universal Screening Recommendations - United States, 2003—2005
This report indicates that annual incidence of early onset Group B streptococcus (GBS) disease (i.e., in infants aged 0-6 days) was 33% lower during 2003-2005 than during 2000-2001. However, although incidence among white infants decreased steadily during 2003-2005, incidence increased 70% among black infants. Incidence of GBS disease among infants aged 7-89 days (i.e., late-onset disease) and pregnant women remained stable after revised universal screening guidelines were issued. Continued surveillance is needed to monitor the impact of the guidelines on perinatal GBS disease and trends in racial disparities and to guide interventions to reduce disparities.

Notice to Readers: Publication of Revised HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report, 2005
Each year CDC publishes an HIV/AIDS surveillance report. On June 28, 2007, CDC published online a revised 2005 report to correct an error in the calculation of the number of estimated AIDS cases for the period 2001-2005; this error resulted in an overestimate of 2% for the period 2001-2005 and 8.3% for the year 2005. These data were published online initially in November 2006 in CDC's HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report, 2005. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5625a4.htm

Smoking-Cessation Advice from Health-Care Providers - Canada, 2005
In 2005, the Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS) included questions to assess self-reported provision of cessation advice by health-care providers. This report summarizes the results of that survey, which indicate that only half of persons who visited health-care providers in the preceding 12 months received smoking-cessation advice, suggesting that health-care providers need to take greater advantage of opportunities to provide such advice to smokers. According to the 2005 CTUMS, approximately 5 million residents in Canada (weighted data)representing 19% of the population aged >15 years, were current smokers, of whom 88% reported visiting one or more of the specified health-care providers (physician, dentist or dental hygienist, and pharmacist) in the 12 months before the survey. A greater proportion of female smokers (94%) visited a health-care provider in the preceding 12 months than male smokers (83%). Among female smokers, the highest rate of visiting a health-care provider was among respondents aged 25-34 years (97%), and the lowest was among those aged 15-19 years (91%).

Numbers and rates of discharges, diagnoses, and procedures are shown by age and sex. Average lengths of stay are presented for all discharges and for selected diagnostic categories by age and by sex. There were 45 million procedures performed on inpatients during 2005. Obstetrical procedures (6.9 million) comprised 25 percent of all procedures performed on females. Cesarean section (18 percent), repair of current obstetric laceration (18 percent), and artificial rupture of membranes (14 percent) accounted for one-half of all obstetrical procedures. Males had more cardiovascular procedures than females (4.1 million compared with 2.9 million), whereas females had more operations on the digestive system than males (3.2 million compared with 2.4 million).  http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/ad/ad385.pdf 

Ambulatory Medical Care Utilization Estimates for 2005
This report presents statistics on ambulatory care visits to physician offices, hospital outpatient departments (OPDs), and hospital emergency departments (EDs) in the United States in 2005. Ambulatory medical care utilization is described in terms of patient, practice, facility, and visit characteristics. Patients in the United States made an estimated 1.2 billion visits to physician offices and hospital OPDs and EDs, a rate of 4.0 visits per person annually. About 29.4 percent of all ambulatory care visits were for chronic diseases and 25.2 percent were for preventive care, including checkups, prenatal care, and postsurgical care. Antidepressants, antihypertensives, nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs, hyperlipidemia drugs, and nonnarcotic analgesics were the leading drug classes prescribed, accounting for nearly one quarter (22.9 percent) of all prescriptions.

National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2005 Emergency Department Summary
This report presents the most current (2005) nationally representative data on visits to hospital emergency departments (ED) in the United States. During 2005, an estimated 115.3 million visits were made to hospital EDs, about 39.6 visits per 100 persons. Abdominal pain, chest pain, fever, and cough were the leading patient complaints, accounting for nearly one-fifth of all visits. Abdominal pain was the leading illness-related diagnosis at ED visits. There were an estimated 41.9 million injury-related visits or 14.4 visits per 100 persons.  http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/ad/ad386.pdf

National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2005 Outpatient Department Summary
This report describes ambulatory care visits to hospital outpatient departments (OPDs) in the United States. Statistics are presented on selected hospital, patient, and visit characteristics. During 2005, an estimated 90.4 million visits were made to hospital OPDs in the United States, about 31.0 visits per 100 persons. Females (37.2 per 100 persons) had higher OPD visit rates than males (24.7 visits per 100 persons), and black or African-American persons (56.8 visits per 100 persons) had higher OPD visit rates than white persons (28.3 visits per 100 persons). The female visit rate was higher than the rate for males overall, driven primarily by differences in the 15–44 year old age groups. The female visit rate (8.7 visits per 100 females) for preventive care was more than twice that for males (3.5 per 100 males).  Although normal pregnancy leads the list among all adolescents 13–21 and adults 22–49 years, the leading diagnoses for males in these age groups were acute upper respiratory infections (13–21 years of age) and spinal disorders (22–49 years of age). The majority of pregnancy visits to OPD clinics were made by women in their third trimester (48.2 percent).  http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/ad/ad389.pdf
