Comparison of syndromic surveillance and hospital discharge data for unintentional drowning in metropolitan Houston, Texas, USA
Regional unintentional drowning burden and trends are highly correlated between syndromic surveillance and hospital discharge data. Small differences by race, ethnicity and county and large differences by sex in the number of unintentional drowning hospital visits were identified between data sets. Syndromic surveillance is useful for real-time surveillance of unintentional drowning.
