증후군감시는 감염병 발생 초기에 나타날 수 있는 임상적 증상 발생동향을 감시하여 감염병의 발생을 가능한 조기에 인지하기 위해 고안된 감시체계이다. 한국 질병관리본부에서는 응급실 기반의 증후군감시시스템을 개발하였으며, 현 시스템의 기능을 강화하고자 국외 증후군감시 조기경보시스템에 관한 문헌조사를 하였다. 본 논문에서는 국외 증후군감시 조기경보시스템 운영현황을 설명, 비교하여 한국의 응급실 기반 증후군감시를 위한 조기경보시스템의 개선에 필요한 근거자료를 마련하였다.

Due to heightened concerns regarding possible bioterrorist attacks, the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention introduced syndromic surveillance systems, which have been run by emergency departments in hospitals throughout Korea since 2002. These systems are designed to identify illness clusters before diagnoses are confirmed and reported to public health agencies, to mobilize a rapid response, and thereby to reduce morbidity and mortality. The Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention performed drop-in syndromic surveillance successfully during the World Cup Football Games in 2002, the Universiad games in 2004, and the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in 2005. In addition, sustainable syndromic surveillance system involving the collaborative efforts of 125 sentinel hospitals has been in operation nationwide since 2002. Because active data collection can bias decisions a physician makes, there is a need to generate an automatic and passive data collection system. Therefore, the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention plans to establish computerized automatic data collection systems in the near future. These systems will be used not only fur the early detection of bioterrorism but also for more effective public health responses to disease.
