Surveillance tools for meningitis sentinel hospital surveillance: field guide to rapidly estimate the hospital catchment population (denominator) and the annual rate of hospitalisations
The document provides information for
Ministries of Health and hospital sentinel sites on why and how to
determine the denominator of at-risk children <5 years of age
and rate of meningitis hospitalizations for a sentinel hospital
site conducting IB-VPD surveillance. Such a methodology was
previously unavailable and this estimation is critical to enable
interpretation of surveillance data, particularly pre- and post-
vaccine introduction.
