Screening Assessment

Abstract Background In response to the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in West Africa in 2014 and evidence of spread to other countries, pre-entry screening was introduced by PHE at five major ports of entry in the England. Methods All passengers that entered the England via the five ports returning from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leonne were required to complete a Health Assessment Form and have their temperature taken. The numbers, characteristics and outcomes of these passengers were analysed. Results Between 14 October 2014 and 13 October 2015, a total of 12 648 passengers from affected countries had been screened. The majority of passengers were assessed as having no direct contact with EVD cases or high-risk events (12 069, 95.4%), although 535 (4.2%) passengers were assessed as requiring public health follow-up. In total, 39 passengers were referred directly to secondary care, although none were diagnosed with EVD. One high-risk passenger was later referred to secondary care and diagnosed with EVD. Conclusions Collection of these screening data enabled timely monitoring of the numbers and characteristics of passengers screened for EVD, facilitated resourcing decisions and acted as a mechanism to inform passengers of the necessary public health actions.

In a recent publication in the “International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care” (7), Kildemoes and Kristiansen claim to address “Cost-effectiveness of interventions to reduce the thrombolytic delay for acute myocardial infarction.” Their study is based on a “Master of Public Health Assessment” thesis published by Kildemoes in the year 2001 (6). Three years ago, the author was informed that several of her assumptions were incorrect. In this letter, we will address six of the erroneous assumptions made by Kildemoes and Kristiansen.
