OBJECTIVES
This study sought to determine the usefulness of restaurant inspections in predicting food-borne outbreaks in Miami-Dade County, Fla.
METHODS
Inspection reports of restaurants with outbreaks in 1995 (cases; n = 51) were compared with those of randomly selected restaurants that had no reported outbreaks (controls; n = 76).
RESULTS
Cases and controls did not differ by overall inspection outcome or mean number of critical violations. Only 1 critical violation--evidence of vermin--was associated with outbreaks (odds ratio = 3.3; 95% confidence interval = 1.1, 13.1).
CONCLUSIONS
Results of restaurant inspections in Miami-Dade County did not predict outbreaks. If these findings are representative of the situation in other jurisdictions, inspection practices may need to be updated.
目的
本研究旨在确定餐厅检查在预测佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县食源性疾病暴发方面的作用。
方法
将1995年发生疫情的餐厅（病例组；n = 51）的检查报告与随机选择的未报告疫情的餐厅（对照组；n = 76）的检查报告进行比较。
结果
病例组和对照组在总体检查结果或关键违规行为的平均数量上没有差异。只有一项关键违规行为——有虫害迹象——与疫情暴发相关（优势比 = 3.3；95%置信区间 = 1.1, 13.1）。
结论
迈阿密-戴德县餐厅检查的结果无法预测疫情暴发。如果这些发现代表其他司法管辖区的情况，检查做法可能需要更新
