Surveillance in Lynch Syndrome

Familial Cancer, 2005
The major aim of surveillance in Lynch syndrome is to diagnose malignant or premalignant lesions at the asymptomatic stage by regular checkups, particularly in the large bowel. Therefore, screening for colorectal adenomas and carcinomas by regular colonoscopies is the main topic of the present review.

Epidemic Simulation for Syndromic Surveillance

The Health Care Manager, 2007
This article reports on a project to develop a simulation-based test bed for the BioDefend Syndromic Surveillance System. BioDefend is a system that data mines syndrome reports from emergency rooms and so forth to produce early alerts of epidemic onset.

Syndromic Surveillance for Influenzalike Illness

Biosecurity and Bioterrorism: Biodefense Strategy, Practice, and Science, 2008
Emergency department data are currently being used by several syndromic surveillance systems to identify outbreaks of natural or man-made illnesses, and preliminary results suggest that regular outbreaks might be detected earlier with such data than with traditional reporting.

A Practitioner-Driven Research Agenda for Syndromic Surveillance [PDF]

Public Health Reports, 2017
Syndromic surveillance has expanded since 2001 in both scope and geographic reach and has benefited from research studies adapted from numerous disciplines. The practice of syndromic surveillance continues to evolve rapidly. The International Society for

Surveillance of Toxic Shock Syndrome in Minnesota

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1982
In January 1980, the Minnesota Department of Health began the surveillance of toxic shock syndrome with epidemiologically defined active and passive components. The intensity of surveillance has been constant since its inception. As of 30 June 1981, 197 confirmed cases of toxic shock syndrome, 15% of all cases nationwide, have been identified in ...

National Reye Syndrome Surveillance, 1982

Pediatrics, 1985
Despite the fact that influenza B was the primary influenza virus strain during the winter of 1981-1982, only 213 cases of Reye syndrome were reported to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) between Dec 1, 1981 and Nov 30, 1982. This national reported incidence of 0.33 cases per 100,000 children less than 18 years of age is the lowest reported ...

Reducing false alarms in syndromic surveillance

Statistics in Medicine, 2011
AbstractAlgorithms for identifying public health threats or disease outbreaks are vulnerable to false alarms arising from sudden shifts in health‐care utilization or data participation. This paper describes a method of reducing false alerts in automated public health surveillance algorithms, and in particular, automated syndromic surveillance ...

Factors affecting automated syndromic surveillance

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, 2005
The increased threat of bioterroristic attacks and epidemic events requires the development of accurate and timely outbreak detection systems for early identification of anomalies in public health data.We propose an automated outbreak detection system based on syndromic data. This system uses an autoregressive model with seasonal components to monitor,
