Tuberculosis is an important public health problem in Portugal, so a new and improved computerized programme for the surveillance and evaluation of tuberculosis data was set up to obtain more precise information of relevant epidemiological indices, besides helping clinicians and regional coordinators to evaluate the local situation, such as clinical features, results of treatment and surveillance of failures and abscondings. Data stored on the computer is described in detail. The evolution of the incidence of tuberculosis is presented, together with more detailed figures for 1990. These figures were obtained with the former, cruder process. The present system is now being deployed and checked, after 1 year's trial and evaluation by some of its users. Its results will be presented in a future publication.
结核病是葡萄牙一个重要的公共卫生问题,因此设立了一个新的、经过改进的结核病数据监测与评估计算机程序,以便除了帮助临床医生和地区协调员评估当地情况(如临床特征、治疗结果以及对治疗失败和患者潜逃情况的监测)之外,还能获取更精确的相关流行病学指标信息。文中详细描述了存储在计算机中的数据。呈现了结核病发病率的演变情况,以及1990年更详细的数据。这些数据是通过之前较为粗略的程序获得的。在部分用户进行了一年的试用和评估之后,目前该系统正在推广和检查中。其结果将在未来的一份出版物中呈现。
