Health-related data are collected from a variety of sources for different purposes, including secondary use population health monitoring (HM) and system performance assessment (HSPA). Most these not included in databases international organizations (e.g., WHO, OECD, Eurostat), limiting their research activities policy making. This study aims at identifying describing collection methods, quality procedures, availability accessibility across EU Member States (MS) HM HSPA.A structured...

During the first epidemic wave, COVID-19 surveillance focused on quantifying magnitude and escalation of a growing global health crisis. The scientific community assessed risk through basic indicators, such as number cases or rates new deaths, later began using other direct impact indicators to conduct more detailed analyses. We aimed at synthesizing community's contribution assessing pandemic population reported in research papers.
