Earlier this month, they presented an abstract that was accepted at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). This abstract was based on updates to Healthcare Cost &amp; Utilization Kids&#8217; Inpatient Database (HCUP KID) estimates of nHSV burden. To read the abstract, click <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/greenjournal\/abstract\/2024\/05001\/estimated_incidence,_mortality,_and_costs_of.164.aspx\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/greenjournal\/abstract\/2024\/05001\/estimated_incidence,_mortality,_and_costs_of.164.aspx\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21149432\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21149432\/\">previous paper<\/a> from 2006, the data at that time showed 9.6 cases of nHSV per 100,000 births. Based on the latest research in the new abstract, these statistics have now increased to 15.7 cases per 100,000 births. That&#8217;s approximately 561 newborns born with nHSV in one year. Of those births, about 4.6% of them result in death. This is unacceptable and we are happy this data is now coming to light and being shared. We thank our partners at the CDC for continuing to research Neonatal Herpes and we hope this will create urgency in making nHSV a reportable infection across the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WHAT YOU CAN DO<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Write to your elected officials! Ask for meetings to discuss Herpes. Request for Neonatal Herpes to be a required reportable disease. nHSV can be preventable but many doctors don&#8217;t test their pregnant patients for HSV. Better testing and education is needed across the community to eliminate nHSV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out our<a href=\"https:\/\/herpescureadvocacy.com\/2021\/10\/16\/new-hsv-advocates-a-starters-guide-to-activism\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/herpescureadvocacy.com\/2021\/10\/16\/new-hsv-advocates-a-starters-guide-to-activism\/\"> Advocates Starter Guide<\/a> and our <a href=\"https:\/\/herpescureadvocacy.com\/2021\/12\/28\/key-stakeholders-for-herpes-patient-advocacy\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/herpescureadvocacy.com\/2021\/12\/28\/key-stakeholders-for-herpes-patient-advocacy\/\">Stakeholder Email List<\/a> to get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ABOUT HCUP KID<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The Kids&#8217; Inpatient Database is part of a family of databases and software tools developed for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hcup-us.ahrq.gov\/overview.jsp\">Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP)<\/a>.
