Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Syndromic Surveillance is typically a system used for early detection of bioterrorism attacks, pandemic flu or other emerging diseases, which monitors symptoms of outpatients or is conducted in the Emergency Department. However, if we monitor symptoms of inpatients, we can apply Syndromic Surveillance to early detection of nosocomial infection. To test this possibility, we constructed and are performing a Syndromic Surveillance System for inpatients who have fever, respiratory symptoms, diarrhea, vomiting or rash. We will then evaluate its statistical properties and its usefulness.
