Respiratory tract infections represent a common problem in everyday practice. The development of the World Wide Web can assist clinicians and other medical care professionals in finding useful information on various clinical conditions, including upper and lower respiratory tract infections.
To identify websites containing information for health care professionals on upper and lower respiratory tract infections, we searched popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo. We also reviewed the sites of major institutions as well as relevant organisations and professional societies and associations. Only those sites that included material in the English language, were open access and developed by a governmental and/or academic institution, or a national or international professional society or associations were included.
We selected 106 sites that provide information on upper respiratory tract infections and 67 sites that provide information on lower respiratory tract infections.
We tried to identify freely available Internet resources with relevant information on upper and lower respiratory tract infections. We believe that the list of relevant World Wide Web resources we generated may be useful as an educational tool for clinicians and trainees.
呼吸道感染是日常医疗实践中的常见问题。万维网的发展可以帮助临床医生和其他医疗保健专业人员获取有关各种临床病症的有用信息,包括上呼吸道和下呼吸道感染。
为了识别包含上呼吸道和下呼吸道感染相关信息的网站,我们搜索了谷歌和雅虎等流行搜索引擎。我们还浏览了主要机构以及相关组织和专业协会的网站。仅纳入那些包含英文资料、开放获取且由政府和/或学术机构、国家或国际专业协会开发的网站。
我们选择了106个提供上呼吸道感染信息的网站和67个提供下呼吸道感染信息的网站。
我们试图识别可免费获取的、包含上呼吸道和下呼吸道感染相关信息的互联网资源。我们认为,我们生成的相关万维网资源列表可能作为临床医生和实习生的教育工具而有用。
