目标
本研究旨在确定餐馆检查在预测弗拉州迈阿密-戴德县食源性疫情中的有用性。
方法
将1995年爆发疫情的餐馆（病例; n = 51）的检查报告与随机选择的未报告疫情的餐馆（对照; n = 76）进行比较。
结果
案例和对照在总体检查结果或严重违规的平均数量方面没有差异。只有1个严重违规-害虫的证据-与爆发有关（比值比= 3.3; 95%置信区间= 1.1，13.1）。
结论
迈阿密戴德县的餐馆检查结果并没有预测疫情。如果这些调查结果代表了其他法域的情况，则可能需要更新检查做法。
OBJECTIVES
This study sought to determine the usefulness of restaurant inspections in predicting food-borne outbreaks in Miami-Dade County, Fla.
METHODS
Inspection reports of restaurants with outbreaks in 1995 (cases; n = 51) were compared with those of randomly selected restaurants that had no reported outbreaks (controls; n = 76).
RESULTS
Cases and controls did not differ by overall inspection outcome or mean number of critical violations. Only 1 critical violation--evidence of vermin--was associated with outbreaks (odds ratio = 3.3; 95% confidence interval = 1.1, 13.1).
CONCLUSIONS
Results of restaurant inspections in Miami-Dade County did not predict outbreaks. If these findings are representative of the situation in other jurisdictions, inspection practices may need to be updated.
