最近的公共卫生威胁推动了传染病监测的重大创新，最终导致了创新症状监测方法的发展。 Influenzanet 是一个基于互联网的系统，自 2003 年以来在欧洲国家的自我报告志愿者群体中监测流感样疾病 (ILI)。我们与欧洲流感监测网络的 ILI 数据进行比较，调查并确认了前十年的一致性，并展示了 ILI 参与者在就医方面的特定国家行为。通过回归分析，我们确定慢性病、儿童、与儿童一起生活、女性、吸烟和家里养宠物都是流感样疾病风险的独立预测因素，而进行体育运动和步行或骑自行车运动则与风险的小幅降低相关。没有发现使用公共交通或独居的影响。此外，我们还确定每个季节 ILI 疫苗的有效性。 (C) 2015 年作者。由 Elsevier B.V 出版。这是一篇基于 CC BY 许可证 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) 的开放获取文章。
Recent public health threats have propelled major innovations on infectious disease monitoring, culminating in the development of innovative syndromic surveillance methods. Influenzanet is an internet-based system that monitors influenza-like illness (ILI) in cohorts of self-reporting volunteers in European countries since 2003. We investigate and confirm coherence through the first ten years in comparison with ILI data from the European Influenza Surveillance Network and demonstrate countryspecific behaviour of participants with ILI regarding medical care seeking. Using regression analysis, we determine that chronic diseases, being a child, living with children, being female, smoking and pets at home, are all independent predictors of ILI risk, whereas practicing sports and walking or bicycling for locomotion are associated with a small risk reduction. No effect for using public transportation or living alone was found. Furthermore, we determine the vaccine effectiveness for ILI for each season. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
