We developed a COVID-19 pandemic severity assessment (PSA) monitoring system in Ireland, in order to inform and improve public health preparedness, response and recovery. The system based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Influenza Severity Assessment (PISA) project included a panel of surveillance parameters for the following indicators: transmissibility, impact and disease severity. Age-specific thresholds were established for each parameter and data visualised using heat maps. The findings from the first pandemic wave in Ireland have shown that the WHO PISA system can be adapted for COVID-19, providing a standardised tool for early warning and monitoring pandemic severity.
我们在爱尔兰开发了一个 COVID-19 大流行严重程度评估（PSA）监测系统，以便为公共卫生的准备、应对和恢复提供信息并加以改进。该系统基于世界卫生组织（WHO）大流行性流感严重程度评估（PISA）项目，包括一系列监测参数，用于以下指标：传染性、影响和疾病严重程度。为每个参数确定了特定年龄的阈值，并使用热图进行数据可视化。爱尔兰第一波大流行的结果表明，世界卫生组织 PISA 系统可以适应 COVID-19，为大流行严重程度的早期预警和监测提供了一个标准化工具。
