2. Concept of Health & Diseases

11 - Natural History of Disease


Natural history of disease signifies the woy in which odiseose evolves gver otÉme frÍm the eartiest stoge to its
termingtion gs recovery, disability or death, in the absence of treatment or prevention
Natural history of disease is best established by cohort studies/ longitudina! study
Consists of two phases -
1. Prepathogenesis (.e., the process in environment)
2. Pathogenesis (i.e., the process in man)
1. Prepathogenesis phase
Refers to period, preliminaryto the onset of diseose in mon,
The dise0se aqent has not yet entered man, but the foctors which fovor lts interaction with the human
host are olready exitinginthe Environment
Interaction of agent, host && environment(epidemiological triad) determine not ony the onset of disease
process in man but also the distribution of disease in the community
Primary level of prevention is possible
2 Pathogenesis phase
Begins with the entry of diseose ogentinthe Susceptible Host
Disease agent multiplies &induces physiologikcal changes
Final outcome of the disease may be recovery, disability or death
Host can aso become aclinicat case, subclinical coseor carrier
Secondary &Tertiarylevel of prevention are possible
Screening of diseose moyimprove proqnosis &
increase survival!
Early pathogenesis phase
o This phase in chronic disease is referred to as Presyrnptomatlc Phase
Late pathogenesis phase
o By the time, Signs &Symptom appears the disease is already well advanced into the late
pathogenesis phase

12 - Levels of prevention & Modes of intervention


4 Levels of Prevention

1. Primordial prevention
prevention of theemnergence ofrisk factors In population In which they have not vet øpPEOred
it is primary prevention in purest sense
Best level of prevention for Non-Communicable Diseases
Mode of intervention

Education
Examples
Childhood obesity prevention through educotion
Education on maintenance of normal body welght, preservatlon oflife style, primitive
nutritional habits for prevention of myocardial inforction
Educotion on benefits of salt restriction for prevention of CAD
2. Primary prevention
Action taken prior to the onset of disease
Intervention done in prepathogenesis phase of disease
Based on elimination of risk factors
Removes the possibility that a disease will ever occur
Mode of intervention
Health promotion
a. Health educotion
o Through heath care providers, community leaders, decision makers
o Exomple-Marriage counseling, Concer educotion
b. Environmental modification
oExomple- Provision of safe woter (potable sofe woter suppl), installation of sanitarylatrines.
insecticidal spray&rodents' control &improvement of housing
c. Nutritlonal intervention
o Food fortificotion, nutritional education, chiid feeding program
o Erample -high fiber diet to prevent obesity, ietary sat reductlon, paosteurization of milk
d. ifestyle &behavioral chonges
o Changing habits &behavior of the patients
o Exomple-Control oftobacco, exerclse promotion, welght reduction

Specific protection
Approaches
Mass strategy- for whole population
High risk strategy- for individuals at risk
Examples
Prospective screening isa Primarylevel of prevention
o Screening of immiqrants, HIV screening among sex workers
Immunization/ vaccines
ChemoprophyBaxis/ Vitamin Aprophyloxis
Contraceptives /useof condoms
lodization of solt
Defluorination of water
Protection against occupational hazards &accidents(helmets/seatbelts)
Desks provided with table top to prevent neck problem
National iron plus initiatives, mosquito bed nets
Radiation protection
Wearing of qoggles byy welders
Primary prevention for dental carles-fluoridation& dental heoth education

2. Concept of Health &Diseases

3. Secondary prevention
Action taken to halt the progress of a disease at its Inciplent stoge &prevents complications
Intervention done in Early pathogenesis phase
More expenslve &less effective than primary prevention
Target qroup in secondary prevention is potients
Eorly diognosis &treatment isthe bestlevel of preventlon for breast cancer
Modes of intervention
Earty diagnosis
" Screening test- Preseriptive screening is aSecondary level of prevention
papsmear, self-breast examinaotion, monitoring of BP
Diagnostic tests- sputum smear for AFB, Peripheral smear for MP
Treatment- DOTS, MDT
Mass treatment
Used when 1 clinical case of active disease can give at least 5 latent cases in a community
Used in control of-Yaws, Pinta, Trachoma, Filaria
Variants- total mass treatment, juvenile mass treatment, selective mass treatment
Examples of secondary prevention
o National health programs,contact tracing of STIS, Case finding for malaria, Health sereentng for diabetes
4. Tertiary prevention
Action taken to limit the impairment &disabilities
Intervention done in Late pathogenesis phase of disease
Modes of Interventions
Disability limitation
" Prevents transition of disease from impatrment to handicap
Example- Spectacles for refroctory error Physiotherapy in poliomyelitis, resting limb in neutrol positionin
polio (helps to prevent overstretching of paralyzed muscles, thereby limits further disability)

Disease Impairment Disability Handicap


Disease- Any abnormal condition of an organism that impairs function
b. Impairment- Any loss of anatomical structure or physiological function
o Example- loss of foot, defective vision
Disability- (Because of impairment) Any restriction or inability to perform an activity in a range
consldered normal for a human being
Example- Unable to walk
d. Handicap-A Disadvantages fora given individuals resulting from an impairment or disabilitythat
limits/ prevents fulfllment of a role considered normal for that individual
Examples
Accident disease
Loss of foot impairment
Cannot walk disobility
Unemployed handicap

Rehabilitation
Combined &coordinated use of medical, social, educational &vocational measure for training &
retraining of individual to the highest possible level of functional ability
Types
a. Medical rehabilitation- Restoration of function
b. Vocational rehabilitation- Restoration of capacity to earn livelihood
C.
Social rehabilitation- Restoration of family &social relation
d. Psychological rehabilitation- Restoration of personal dignity &confidence
Examples- Establishing schools for blind, Gradededexercises in polio, Reconstructive surgery in leprosy,
Crutches in poliomyelitis

Quaternary prevention- preventing general public with over diagnosis of disease due to medical literature reviews

2. Concept of Health & Diseases

13 - Web of Causation
(Makdi ke Web mne Mohan ka Pug]
Suggested by MocMohon &Pugh
Ideally suited in the study of chronic disease, where disease agent is often not known &it's the outcome of interoction
between muttiplefoctors (Biological, Environmental, Immunological, Nutritional, Genetic, Soclal /Spictuo) [BEINGSS]
Web of causation considers all the predisposing foctors &their interrelationship with each other
Someties
Helps to waYs to interrupt the rskof transmission
removal of just one link may be sufficient to control disease

According to this concept, disease in a community may be compared with an iceberg
1 Floating tip
Represents what the physiclan sees in the community L.e.,

2. Concept of Health &Diseases

15 - Monitoring
Definition- Continuous oversight of activitles to ensure that they are proceeding according to plan
Example- monitoring of air polution, water quality, & nutritional status
Monitoring can be carried out by-Technicians
Obiectvetson angtysis of routine meosurement, atmed ot detecting changes in envtronment
16- Surveillance
Definition- Continuous scrutiny offactors that determine occurreNCe &distribution of disease
Examples -Epidemiological surveillance, Demographic surveillance, Nutritional surveillance, Sentinel suveitlance
Surveillance is carried out by - Professionals
Objectives
Health plonning
Control of disease
pato on new &changing trends
To provide timely warnings
Types
1. Active Surveillance
Health worker actively goes to house every fortnight to detect cases &collect data
Done In NVBDCP
2. Passive Surveillance
Data is itself reported to health system passively
Done in most of National Health Programs
3. Sentinel Surveillance
Helps in identifying missing cases &supplementing notified cases
Done in NACP

16.1 - Difference between Active & Passive Surveillance


Active Surveillance Passive Surveillance
Data is actively collected 1. Data is passtvely reported
2. Heath system staff actively goes to the patients to 2 Data is itself reported to health system passively
gather data
3 Example- health worker goes house to house to detect 3. Example- patients coming to PHC, CHC, private
fever cases & collect blood slides practitioners etc.
Mostly used when disease is targetedfor Elimination or Mostly used when disease is targeted for Control
Eradication
Includes mainly NVBDCP & NLEP 5. Includes most of the National Health Programs in India
6. More expensive 6. Less expensive
7. Diseases- poliomyelitis, leprosy, neonatal tetanus Diseases Diphtherla, Hepatitis B, mumps

16.2- Sentinelsurveillance
Definition-It'sa studyof disease rotes In gspecific population to estimate trends in larger population
Objective
ldentihdng the missing cases &therebysupplementing the notified coses
ldentifving new told cases
Estimates disease prevalence
- Iue morbldity is measured by sentinel survellance
Sentinel system- Involves limted network of carefully selected reporting sites
- Network of hospitals used to collect data on varlous diseases &their causative agents
- Health practitioners are also used to monitor trends of a disease in a specific population
Minimlzes reporting blas
Uses
When a high-quality data is needed about a particular disease that cannot be obtained through a passive system
- Data collected can be used to ldentify trends or outbreaks &to monitor the burden of a disease in a community
Done for-HIVinNational AIDS Control Program (STD clinics &ANC cllnics aere sentinel sites)

17- Difference between Monitoring &Surveillance


Monitoring Surveillance
Continuous oversight of actlvitiesto ensure that they 1. Continuous scrutiny of the factors that determine the
are proceeding according to plan occurrence & distribution of disease
Can be done by Technlcians Done by Professlonals
3. One time actlvity Continuous cycle
4. Stops once disease is eliminated or eradicated 4. Continues even after disease is eliminated /eradicated
Smaller concept Broader concept
6. No feedback present 6. Feedback present
7. No inbuilt action component present 7 Inbuilt action component present
Example- monitoring of alr polution, water pollution, Example- demographic suveillance, nutritional
noise pollution surveillance, sentinel
surveillance
