Cover Story: The under-reporting of laboratory-confirmed community-based GI infections creates a barrier for epidemiologists to understand the pathogen burden and seasonal trends of GI pathogens. Syndromic surveillance, which involves the use of real-time data and a wider population coverage, offers an alternative solution. This systematic review examines its role in early detection and monitoring of GI infections. From 1820 studies, 1694 were reviewed after removing duplicates. The focus was on studies evaluating syndromic surveillance effectiveness for GI infections. In total, 29 eligible studies were included, showing its routine use and validation in ten countries, mainly utilizing emergency department data. While promising, 24% of the studies lacked conclusive findings, highlighting the need for further investigation into syndromic surveillance systems’ strengths and limitations. View this paper
