RIBEIRO, Igor Gonçalves e SANCHEZ, Mauro Niskier. Evaluation of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) surveillance system, with emphasis on influenza, Brazil, 2014-2016. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.3, e2020066. Epub 08-Jun-2020. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742020000300013.
Objective
to evaluate attributes of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) surveillance system in Brazil, 2014-2016.
Method
this was an evaluation study conducted according to United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Data from the Influenza Web information system notified for the period 2014-2016 were used. The simplicity, completeness, inconsistency, timeliness, acceptability, representativeness, positive predictive value (PPV) of the SARS case definition attributes and usefulness were evaluated.
Results
a simple structure was found with good completeness (100% for required variables; >95% for optional variables); low inconsistency (3.2%); lack of timeliness (68.2%); low acceptability (average of 70.4%); representative of the territory (capable of analyzing risk groups); high PPV (29.1%); useful (fulfils system objectives).
Conclusion
the attributes evaluated indicate that the system is capable of providing complete, representative and useful information about influenza, adequate for guiding national health responses.
