The Integrated Screening Outcomes Surveillance Service (ISOSS) monitors screening outcomes for the NHS Infectious Diseases in Pregnancy Screening Programme with Regulation 3 Approval.
The goal of the ISOSS is to collect, analyse and report obstetric and paediatric data on HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B in pregnant women and children in order to
- assess key outcomes of the IDPS Programme
- assess the IDPS Programme's impact on prevention of vertically-acquired HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis
- protect the health of women with and infants exposed to these infections
ISOSS builds on existing projects and bespoke audits including:
- the well-established National Surveillance of HIV in Pregnancy and Childhood
- Audit of perinatal HIV in children born in the UK 2006 to 2013
- Surveillance of Antenatal Syphilis Screening (SASS study); and assessment of syphilis screen positive pregnancies 2010 to 2011
- National Hepatitis B in pregnancy audit 2014
Contributions to National and International Monitoring and Reports
ISOSS contribute to other national and international public health surveillance services in order to contribute to wider global intelligence on infectious diseases. These include:
- Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR)
- European Pregnancy and Paediatric Infections Cohort Collaboration
- UK Health Security Agency National Infection Service (NIS)
ISOSS work closely with the British HIV Association (BHIVA), Children's HIV Association (CHIVA) and the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) to inform guidelines and these organisations support reporting of all eligible cases to ISOSS.
