目的 本研究旨在调查医疗远程会诊数据是否有助于流感监测。方法 使用国际初级保健分类第二版 (ICPC-2) 代码来分析因流感相关症状而进行远程会诊的比例。将结果与瑞士哨兵每周报告进行比较。结果 当使用 ICPC-2 发烧代码时，我们可以重现哨兵数据所描述的冬季 07/08、08/09 和 09/10 的季节性流感高峰。对于 09/10 流感大流行，我们在 2009 年夏季检测到了一个更高的第一个峰值，这与 Sentinel 系统中潜在的漏报相关。 结论 来自医疗远程会诊的 ICPC-2 数据允许实时监测流感，并且与 Swiss Sentinel 系统非常相关。
Objectives This study aimed at investigating whether data from medical teleconsultations may contribute to influenza surveillance.Methods International Classification of Primary Care 2nd Edition (ICPC-2) codes were used to analyse the proportion of teleconsultations due to influenza-related symptoms. Results were compared with the weekly Swiss Sentinel reports.Results When using the ICPC-2 code for fever we could reproduce the seasonal influenza peaks of the winter seasons 07/08, 08/09 and 09/10 as depicted by the Sentinel data. For the pandemic influenza 09/10, we detected a much higher first peak in summer 2009 which correlated with a potential underreporting in the Sentinel system.Conclusions ICPC-2 data from medical teleconsultations allows influenza surveillance in real time and correlates very well with the Swiss Sentinel system.
