呼吸道病毒综合监测报告方案2024

Industry Overview - The report focuses on the integrated surveillance of respiratory viruses, including influenza, COVID-19, and RSV, within the EU/EEA and the wider WHO European Region [15] - The primary aim is to support timely and complete reporting of key information for respiratory virus surveillance, including influenza, COVID-19, RSV, and other emerging viral diseases of public health concern [16] - The objectives include monitoring the intensity, geographical spread, and temporal patterns of respiratory virus infections, as well as assessing the impact on healthcare systems and vaccine effectiveness [17][18][19] Data Collection and Reporting - Data collection is integrated for most datasets, with a focus on syndromic data (ILI/ARI) and lab-confirmed infections by specified pathogens [20] - Sentinel data should be prioritized, while non-sentinel data should be reported as complementary, especially when sentinel data is missing or insufficient [20] - Record types include INFLCLINAGGR for primary care syndromic data, RESPIAGGR for lab-confirmed detections, and RESPISEVERE for hospital and ICU indicators [21][22][23] - Case-based data for severe cases, including hospitalizations and ICU admissions, should be reported via RESPISURV, while SARI cases are reported via SARISURV [24][25] Metadata Changes - Significant updates have been made to metadata sets, including the addition of new variables such as RSVtype and RSV vaccination variables, and the removal of outdated variables like NCoVVacFirstDose and NCoVVacFirstBrand [4] - Changes to INFLSARIAGGR include the addition of unknown age cases and the deletion of total cases for various indicators, such as SARI admissions and deaths [5] - SARISURVDENOM metadata has been updated to include unknown age cases for SARI admissions and hospital admission denominators, while total cases have been removed [6] Reporting Protocols - The reporting protocol provides guidelines for data managers on how to prepare and submit data to TESSy, including deadlines for data submission and links to further information [10] - Data can be entered directly into EpiPulse Cases or uploaded in CSV/XML format, with specific formatting requirements for fields such as dates and coded values [32][33][34] - Metadata compliance is automatically checked during the data upload process, with immediate feedback on validation results [40] Surveillance Objectives and Data Mapping - Surveillance objectives are mapped to specific record types and data sources, with sentinel data prioritized for monitoring intensity, geographical spread, and temporal patterns of respiratory virus infections [29] - Non-sentinel data is used as complementary information, particularly for monitoring severity, risk factors, and the impact on healthcare systems [29] - Detailed analysis using a combination of reported record types can address objectives such as describing the burden of disease and assessing vaccine effectiveness [19]
