ContextDrug sales oNon-specific surveillance data oOutbreak detection oInfectious disease surveillance
Gastroenteritis o High frequency diseaseo ~ 3 millions GP consultations o 50 000 hospitalizations < 5 years old
EHESP

Objective
To assess the value of drug sales data as an early epidemic detection tool for gastroenteritis in France
oBy assessing correlation with reference data oBy determining if drug data could provide an early signal of seasonal outbreakoBy assessing prospective outbreak detection

Data Stratified sample of pharmacies
•1647 in 2009 to 4627 pharmacies in 2013 (20%)
•Number of boxes sold of all products
•Prescribed/ Non-prescribed
•Data obtained at D+1
•Geographic location of the pharmacies (region)

Indicator drug selection Intestinal antiinfectives antidiarrhoeals (A07A)
Intestinal adsorbents antidiarrhoeals (A07B)
Antidiarrheal microorganisms (A07F)
Other antidiarrheals (A07X)
Motility inhibitors (A07H)
Antiemetics and antinauseants (A04A9)
Oral rehydration solutions
Dietetic products for diarrhea and vomiting

Selection of 8 groups (256 products)
Reference data
• Sentinel network of 1300 GP throughout France (www.sentiweb.fr)
• Acute diarrhea cases reported each week

Sales of drugs for gastroenteritis and number of reported cases (Sentinel network), 2009-2012, France
Results
Prescribed drugs / cases
Non prescribed drugs/ cases

Epidemics detectiono Detection Method : Serfling method
Epidemic periods
Periodic baseline level
Upper limit of the CI : threshold
o Evaluation :• Detection window : Start of epidemic from Sentinel network +/- 4 weeks • Evaluation criteria:
• Sensitivity • False alert rate• Timeliness
Selection of model parameters that optimize the 3 criteria Selection of model parameters that optimize the 3 criteria

Example of the 2012/2013 seasonal epidemic.
First epidemic week from drug sales
First epidemic week from Sentinel network
Detection from non-prescribed drugs 3 weeks earlier than detection from reference data, with a beginning at the east of France.
Next step : regional analyses

Discussion
12
Confirmation of the potential of drug sales analysis for gastroenteritis surveillance
o Prescribed drugs: high correlation with reported cases / No benefit for early detection
o Adequacy between the 2 sources
o Non prescribed drugs :Detection on average 2,25 weeks earlier (daily analysis: 16.7 days earlier, detection after 7 epidemics days)
o Purchase of drugs during the early phase of illnesso Reflects patient behaviors
LimitsoSelection of indicator drugs : specificity oUse of medications vary by demographic factorsoPopulation source not precisely known : incidence ?
EHESP
13
o Relevant tool to determine dynamics and detect outbreaks o Reporting lag of one day
o rapid assessment of Public Health situationo prospective analyses
o Automatically collection of data
Advantages
Conclusion
Useful and valid tool for real-time monitoring of GI
Earlier indicator of gastroenteritis outbreak
Other infectious diseases

Epidemics detection
o Detection Method (Serfling method) :
• Periodic regression models • Key parameters :
• highest pruning percentile (varying from 15% to 40%)
• prediction interval (varying from 90%,95%,99%)• Number of consecutive weeks to detect an
epidemic
