- Surveillance of imported hospital requiring malaria in Portugal: can it be improved?: Table 1Publication . Fonseca, Ana Glória; Dias, Sara; Baptista, João Luís; Torgal, JorgeAlthough eradicated in Portugal, malaria keeps taking its toll on travellers and migrants from endemic countries. Completeness of hospital requiring malaria notification in Portugal 2000–11 was estimated, using two-source capture–recapture method. Data sources were: national surveillance database of notifiable diseases and the national database of the Diagnosis-Related Groups resulting from National Health Service (NHS) hospital episodes. The completeness of notification was 21,2% for all malaria cases and 26,5% for malaria deaths, indicating significant underreporting and urging for complementary data source in surveillance, for disease burden estimates and retrospective monitoring, namely hospital episodes statistics.
