Surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) in hospitals in the WHO European region - an exploratory analysis of risk factors for a severe outcome in influenza-positive SARI cases
Tamara J Meerhoff,Artan Simaku,Dritan Ulqinaku,Liana Torosyan,Natalia Gribkova,Veronica Shimanovich,Giorgi Chakhunashvili,Irakli Karseladze,Aizhan Yesmagambetova,Ainagul Kuatbayeva,Zuridin Nurmatov,Dinagul Otorbaeva,Emilia Lupulescu,Odette Popovici,Elizaveta Smorodintseva,Anna Sominina,Olga Holubka,Olga Onyshchenko,Caroline Brown,Diane Gross +19 more
TL;DR: Characteristics of SARI patients are described and results on risk factors for a severe outcome in influenza-positive SARI cases have identified several risk groups, especially relevant in the light of an overall low vaccination uptake and antiviral use in Eastern Europe.

TL;DR: Despite the challenge still posed in the clinical separation of influenza from other respiratory infections, the global use of the new WHO case definitions should help determine global trends in the characteristics and transmission of influenza viruses and the associated disease burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surveillance recommendations based on an exploratory analysis of respiratory syncytial virus reports derived from the European Influenza Surveillance System
Tamara J Meerhoff,Douglas M. Fleming,Ann Smith,Anne Mosnier,Arianne B van Gageldonk-Lafeber,John Paget +5 more
TL;DR: It is considered that the EISS model can be used to develop an RSV surveillance system equivalent to the influenza surveillance in Europe and recommended that respiratory specimens collected in influenza surveillance are also tested systematically for RSV.
Journal ArticleDOI
The community impact of the 2009 influenza pandemic in the WHO European Region: a comparison with historical seasonal data from 28 countries
Liana Martirosyan,John Paget,Pernille Jorgensen,Caroline Brown,Tamara J Meerhoff,Dmitriy Pereyaslov,Joshua A. Mott +6 more
TL;DR: Using routine influenza surveillance data, this study found that pandemic influenza had several differential features compared to historical seasons in the region, and arrived earlier, caused significantly higher number of outpatient consultations in children in most countries and followed west to east spread that was previously observed during some influenza seasons with dominant A (H3N2) ifluenza viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential risks and impact of the start of the 2015-2016 influenza season in the WHO European Region: a rapid risk assessment.
