Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs) Group B Streptococcus

ABCs is an ongoing surveillance program that began in 1997. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/abcs/reports-findings/surv-reports.html">ABCs reports</a> describe the ABCs case definition and the specific methodology used to calculate rates and estimated numbers in the United States for each bacterium by year. The methods, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/abcs/methodology/surv-pop.html">surveillance areas</a>, and <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/abcs/methodology/surv-pop.html">laboratory isolate collection areas</a> have changed over time.
Additionally, the way missing data are taken into account changed in 2010. It went from distributing unknown values based on known values of cases by site to use of multiple imputation using a sequential regression imputation method.
Given these changes over time, trends should be interpreted with caution.

ABCs项目是一项始于1997年的持续监控计划。ABCs报告详细阐述了ABCs案例定义以及用于计算美国每年各细菌的发病率和估计数的特定方法。随着时间推移，监测区域和实验室分离株收集区域的方法发生了变化。此外，2010年对缺失数据的处理方式也发生了改变，从基于已知病例的站点值分配未知值，转变为采用序列回归插补法的多重插补。鉴于这些随时间的变化，对趋势的解释应持谨慎态度。
