尽管目前的国家应对计划假设大多数流感感染者在大流行期间会呆在家里，但监测系统可能会不堪重负，无法监测他们的健康状况。我们探讨了使用全国性电话调查来监测在家患者的可行性。在低流感活动月份（2006年4月至10月，监测周17-41）随机选择的成年人中，86%（7，268/8，449）同意回答有关健康状况和流感样疾病症状的问题。3%（230/7，628）自我报告“流感”，一个子集（0.9%，68/230）自我报告发烧。相比之下，疾病控制和预防中心的哨兵提供者网络报告的第17周、第20周和第41周的临床流感样疾病率分别为1.2%、0.9%和1.2%。通过电话获得的信息和监测数据之间的一致性值得进一步研究，以确定电话调查是否可以准确地监测季节性流感高峰期间的健康状况，并在大流行期间加强目前的监测系统。
Although current national response plans assume that most influenza-infected patients would stay home during a pandemic, surveillance systems might be overwhelmed and unable to monitor their health status. We explored the feasibility of using a nationwide telephone survey to monitor at-home patients. Of randomly selected adults surveyed during low influenza activity months (April-October 2006, surveillance weeks 17-41), 86% (7,268/8,449) agreed to answer questions about health status and influenza-like illness symptoms. Three percent (230/7,628) self-reported "flu," A subset (0.9%, 68/230) self-reported fever. In comparison, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Sentinel Provider Network reported clinical influenza-like illness rates of 1.2%, 0.9%, and 1.2% for weeks 17, 20, and 4 1, respectively. The consistency between information obtained by telephone and surveillance data warrants further studies to determine whether telephone surveys can accurately monitor health status during seasonal influenza peaks and to augment current surveillance systems during a pandemic.
