We describe age- and syndrome-specific emergency department (ED) visit patterns for diarrhea and vomiting associated with periods of confirmed epidemic rotavirus and presumed epidemic norovirus in New York City (NYC).
We conducted a study to examine the suitability of the data collected at the local emergency departments for use in syndromic surveillance.
This paper describes the development of a syndromic surveillance system in France. It is based on three different types of data: hospitals (ED visits), GPÃs activities (Sos Medecins), deaths certificates.
This paper assesses the possible interest of using of a syndromic surveillance system based on emergency departments (ED) and crude mortality for monitoring health effects of climate changes (CC).
This abstract describes an Electronic Surveillance System for Infectious Disease Outbreaks used by all federal levels in Germany and comments on timelyness and comprehensiveness of informations about outbreak settings and infection sources.
To determine sensitivity and specificity of syndromic surveillance of influenza based on data from SOS Medecins, a healthcare network of emergency general practitioners (GP) in Bordeaux, France.
In July 2006, an important heat wave occurred in France, and generated alarm of all the public health services. In Gironde, a department in region Aquitaine, the level of "warning and actions" of the Heat Health Watch Warning System, based on an analysis of weather-mortality relationship, was activated from the 16th and the 27th of July, when the limits of biometeorological indicators were reached [1].
Objective
To assess health impact of heat wave occurred in July 2006 through data from emergency activity and mortality from syndromic surveillance systems in Gironde, a department in south-western France.
