Hepatitis C mortality study _The cause of death July 29, 2020 at 13:35 Lia Gwindzhilia wrote: Welcome! Yesterday, Aleko and I talked about the decision to extend the duration of the mortality study under the elimination program (June 2020 inclusive). Therefore, I will provide Nick with an updated encrypted list in a separate message, after which Nick will extract data on the causes of death from the death database (an Excel template file is attached). In addition, as a result of communication with Maya and Levan a few months ago, we agreed that in order to fill in the necessary data, data on the causes of death can be filled in from as many sources as possible. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Sincerely, Lika - Lia Gwindjilia MD, Ph.D., MSc.

In this letter, as a humble reminder, have you made any progress on the issue below? Or according to your work schedule/vacation period, how do you plan to download a personalized database from the birth registry and finally indicate the causes of death from other available sources? For my part, by the end of July, I had already uploaded Niki's encrypted database. I'll share it again if necessary.

I guess Levan should give Nika all the bases, right?

Do you want a birth or death database? As we discussed earlier, the personal numbers in your database will be compared with the mortality database, and if there are unknown causes, with additional other sources. But here is one problem when Nika compares personal numbers with births in the death system, where, as we have already mentioned, there are "doppelgangers" (information transmitted by two entities such as the ambulance and the Samkharauli examination) that we will be working on. later. When comparing causes of death, it is important to choose which one to choose.

Yes, I confirm that we need a death database, and you correctly pointed out that in the case of unknown causes, additional sources should be compared. As for the cases of "double" deaths (reports submitted by two different organizations), in my opinion, the cause of death established by the Samkharauli examination is more likely. In this matter, I would rely on your (Levan/Maya) opinion and advice. Then we will give Nick more detailed instructions on the data extraction process. Summarizing the stages of the work performed: 1. Providing Nick with a list of encrypted personal numbers as part of the mortality study (completed) 2. Personalize this list (Nickname) 3. To extract data from the death registry according to a personalized list, see the attached file in Excel format. (Nika / Levan) 4. In case of unknown causes of death, compare with additional sources and fill in the data (Levan) 5. Unified full database encryption and sharing with CDC (Nickname) Hvicha, thank you, at this stage, I think we mainly need the help of Levan and Nika (key people :-) Thank you all for your cooperation!

The file is hosted on Google Drive with Levan and Gaga. Next steps: 1. To extract data from the death registry according to a personalized list, see the attached file in Excel format.

In case of unknown causes of death, compare with additional sources and fill in the data (Levan) In case of causes of "recurring" death (reports provided by two different organizations), please contact Lika for further consultation.

(2015-2017 only) Compared to the electronic database of cancer and hospitalizations in order to reduce the proportion of unidentified causes. death. Cases from 2015 to 2017 were also conducted under the so-called IRIS program, which determines the underlying cause of death. The years 2018-2019 do not require any action, as they have already been processed, and Geostat has already published official mortality data based on the mentioned databases. A depersonalized Nika database is attached, where the underlined column is the main cause of death at birth, the CancerICD10 columns are the Cancer Registry, and the ICD10 Main Disease column is the hospital's electronic system. In this regard, you should probably have one online meeting or telephone conversation to describe in detail all the variables in the database.

Holding an online meeting is a very good idea. This week will be convenient for me: Thursday - at any time before 16:00, and on Friday - at any time. I will send the statistics to the database in advance just to check the ID. I will only clarify one thing, that we have extended the mortality study period to June 2020, so the list of deaths for the period from July 2015 to 2020-2020 has not been included in the uploaded database for Niki. Suddenly, I noticed a difference in the number of IDs in the file you sent Levan (77,581 dead), while in the file I uploaded it was 77,619. I wonder if the 38 people missing in your case can't be found in the death database? Or something else?

Do you think the leadership of Jess (the National Health Agency) is getting involved in the process slowly? Lika, it would probably be good to arrange a meeting with Tamar Meliidze, Magda Naskidashvili and Tamar Kavteladze, the head of Jess, in order to receive information that will be needed periodically. Eka Adamia would probably be quite good if she attended.

It is a very good idea to involve the National Health Agency in this process and ensure the continuous loading of the database necessary for monitoring the hepatitis program. I think that Eka Adamia or the center should initiate this meeting, given the epidemic situation of COVID, at an appropriate time. I will definitely participate.
