Although eradicated in Portugal, malaria keeps taking its toll on travellers and migrants from endemic countries. Completeness of hospital requiring malaria notification in Portugal 2000-11 was estimated, using two-source capture-recapture method. Data sources were: national surveillance database of notifiable diseases and the national database of the Diagnosis-Related Groups resulting from National Health Service (NHS) hospital episodes. The completeness of notification was 21,2% for all malaria cases and 26,5% for malaria deaths, indicating significant underreporting and urging for complementary data source in surveillance, for disease burden estimates and retrospective monitoring, namely hospital episodes statistics.
尽管疟疾在葡萄牙已被根除，但它仍在持续影响来自疟疾流行国家的旅行者和移民。我们使用双源捕获-再捕获方法，对2000年至2011年葡萄牙医院疟疾通报的完整性进行了评估。数据来源为：法定传染病国家监测数据库以及国家医疗服务体系（NHS）医院诊疗产生的诊断相关组国家数据库。所有疟疾病例的通报完整性为21.2%，疟疾死亡病例的通报完整性为26.5%，这表明存在严重漏报情况，因此迫切需要补充监测数据源，以进行疾病负担估计和回顾性监测，即医院诊疗统计。
