To proactively identify and respond to potential health threats during mass gathering (MG) events using the regional MG Surveillance Framework across host countries for the 2024 T20 Cricket World Cup.
DESIGNS/METHODS: This framework, using multiple data sources, including the MG Surveillance module, provided daily intelligence and threat analysis to host nations. Specifically, the module allowed on-the-field data entry and immediate analysis; its infrastructure featured an Alerting mechanism built upon thresholds customized for MG events. Alerts were generated once thresholds were passed, notifying the relevant stakeholders immediately.
Thirty-one MG and Health Facility Sites were registered onto the system and surveillance teams across the host countries were able to digitally capture 146 cases (generating 17 syndromic cases; 14 acute gastroenteritis-related and 3 fever with respiratory symptoms). The system reported non-communicable health issues like accidents/injuries (33 cases) and heat-related illnesses (22 cases).
The MG surveillance module illustrated its ability to provide health care practitioners and decision-makers with real-time data, syndromic alerts and analytics. The early warning and response mechanism facilitated early identification, communication and response to disease threats emanating from these events, and consequently reduce the risk of outbreak events that can overwhelm the health systems in the Caribbean.
利用2024年T20板球世界杯主办国的区域大型活动监测框架，主动识别并应对大型活动期间的潜在健康威胁。
设计/方法：该框架利用包括大型活动监测模块在内的多个数据源，为主办国提供每日情报和威胁分析。具体而言，该模块允许现场数据录入和即时分析；其基础设施具有基于为大型活动定制的阈值构建的警报机制。一旦阈值被突破，就会生成警报，立即通知相关利益攸关方。
31个大型活动和卫生设施场所被登记到该系统中，主办国各地的监测团队能够以数字方式记录146例病例（产生17例症状性病例；14例与急性肠胃炎相关，3例伴有呼吸道症状的发热）。该系统报告了非传染性健康问题，如事故/伤害（33例）和与热相关的疾病（22例）。
大型活动监测模块展示了其为医疗从业者和决策者提供实时数据、症状性警报和分析的能力。早期预警和应对机制有助于早期识别、沟通和应对这些活动引发的疾病威胁，从而降低可能使加勒比地区卫生系统不堪重负的疫情爆发风险。
