Description:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been conducting surveillance of hemodialysis-associated hepatitis since the early 1970s (1), when CDC reported that the incidence of HBV infection among patients and staff during 1972-1974 had increased by more than 100%, to 6.2% and 5.2%, respectively. These early surveys had only a 50% to 65% response rate of centers listed by the National Dialysis Registry. In an effort to obtain a higher response rate, and thus more complete information, CDC initiated a cooperative program with the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) in 1976 that provided for a questionnaire from CDC to be included in HCFA's annual facility survey. As a result of this collaboration, the response rates to the CDC questionnaire now exceed 90%.
