有效的监测是成功管理新发感染的必要条件。它允许采取接触者追踪和隔离等公共卫生保护措施。本研究的目的是寻找最合适的监测方法，如SARS。根据一套新的标准，以定性方式对现有的监测方法进行了评价。流感和结核病（TB）监测被用作模型。进行了文献检索以找到相关证据。结果表明，结核病监测比流感监测更适合作为一种模式，因为它的报告更完整。基于临床医生的报告比基于实验室的报告更好，因为它更及时。结果表明，以临床医生为基础的通知系统将是对SARS等疾病进行公共卫生监测的最适当形式。
Effective surveillance is necessary for the successful management of emerging infection. It allows public health protection measures such as contact tracing and isolation to be put in place. This study aimed to find the most appropriate surveillance method for a disease like SARS. Existing surveillance methods were evaluated against a set of new criteria in a qualitative manner. Influenza and tuberculosis (TB) surveillance were used as models. A literature search was undertaken to find relevant evidence. The results show that TB surveillance is more appropriate than influenza surveillance as a model because it is more complete in its reporting. Clinician-based reporting is better than laboratory-based because it is more timely. The results suggest a clinician-based notification system would be the most appropriate form of surveillance for a disease like SARS for public health purposes.
