Abstract

We estimated potential congenital syphilis (CS) cases averted using the national disease surveillance data and AtlasPlus data. Nationally, over 60% of potential CS cases were averted during 2010-2023, with state variations. Despite an increase in the number of averted cases, the percentage of potential cases averted has declined over time.
