- W2912884179 abstract "Purpose: Malaria was eliminated in Portugal in 1973. In 2014, an electronic Surveillance System (SS) was implemented but the disease is still believed to be underreported. With the increase in the number of locally acquired P. vivax cases in Europe, population mobility and climate change, the possibility of resurgence of autochthonous cases is real. This study aims to estimate the completeness of malaria notification using the capture-recapture (CRC) method. Methods & Materials: Cross-sectional study of malaria cases identified either in the notification database of the SS or the Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) database containing all public hospital admissions in 2016. The variables sex, date of birth and residence were used for matching the cases. Maximum likelihood population estimate and completeness of notification relative to hospital cases were calculated. Results: 423 cases were identified in the DRG database and 197 cases in the SS, with 139 cases being reported by both databases. Completeness of notification by the SS relative to DRG was 32.9%. The maximum likelihood population estimate was 600 cases. Malaria cases were mainly caused by P. Falciparum, more frequently men, with a mean age of 40 years. Case fatality was less than 2.5%. Conclusion: The study confirmed that malaria is underreported. However, the introduction of an electronic SS seems to have decreased sub-notification, since a previous study on paper-based notifications found a completeness notification of 21.2%. The likelihood population estimate indicates that the total amount of cases in 2016 was underestimated. This might be explained by the diagnosis of malaria in other clinical settings or ambulatory treatment of hospital cases. The results of this study highlight the need for effective notification strategies for malaria, especially when there is a risk of reintroduction of disease." @default.
