To evaluate the new Japanese School Absentees Reporting System for Infectious Disease (SARSID) for pandemic influenza A/H1N1 2009 infection in comparison with the National epidemiological Surveillance of Infectious Disease (NESID).
We used data of 53,223 students (97.7%) in Takamatsu city Japan. Data regarding school absentees in SARSID was compared with that in NESID from Oct 13, 2009 to Jan 12, 2010.
Similar trends were observed both in SARSID and NESID. However, the epidemic trend for influenza in SARSID was thought to be more sensitive than that in NESID.
The epidemic trend for influenza among school-aged children could be easily and rapidly assessed by SARSID compared to NESID. SARSID might be useful for detecting the epidemic trend of influenza.
评估新的日本学校传染病缺勤报告系统(SARSID)在大流行流感 A/H1N1 2009 感染方面与国家传染病流行病学监测(NESID)的比较。
我们使用了日本高松市 53223 名学生(97.7%)的数据。比较了 2009 年 10 月 13 日至 2010 年 1 月 12 日 SARSID 与 NESID 的学校缺勤数据。
SARSID 和 NESID 均观察到相似的趋势。然而,SARSID 中的流感流行趋势被认为比 NESID 更敏感。
与 NESID 相比,SARSID 可更轻松、更快速地评估学龄儿童的流感流行趋势。SARSID 可能有助于检测流感的流行趋势。
