Diseases of Compulsory Declaration

Incidence of Compulsory Declaration Diseases. Epidemiological surveillance of compulsorily notifiable communicable diseases. SINAVE is a public health surveillance system that allows the monitoring of the state of health of the population over time, namely the incidence of communicable diseases subject to compulsory reporting, allowing the determination of the risk of transmission of these diseases, as well as the prevention of their entry into or spread in Portuguese territory, by controlling their genesis and evolution. The variable “Notification Health Region” refers to the Health Region that made the notification. The ‘Residence (NUT III)’ variable is the region of residence of the user concerned by the notification. **Comments**: Cases of HIV/AIDS infection, tuberculosis, acute hepatitis B and C, unspecified viral hepatitis and other acute viral hepatitis were excluded as they are subject to specific surveillance under the respective programmes and their monitoring is carried out with additional use of other information systems. The data for the year 2018 are provisional.
