Objective To investigate the accurateness and rapidity of information on SARS , and to provide evidence for decision-making in the construction of the public health information system of China, including information collection, identification and release.
Method SARS related information was systematically collected, from ① databases including Medline, CBMdisc and Cochrane Library; ② official websites including WHO, MOH and CDC; ③ non-governmental websites including Sina, Sohu, Yahoo; ④ eleven Chinese Journals and ⑤ gray literatures, These evidence were graded based on their scientific sense, and were analyzed according to their rapidity of release.
Results A total of 11 955 pieces of related information were collected. Non-governmental websites were the agents that released the largest number of information (46.7%). Regarding the scientific sense of evidence, hand searched journal was at the top of the evidence pyramid, and followed by Medline, gray literature, CBMdisc, official and non-governmental websites. Regarding the rapidity, official website achieved the most rapid information release, which was followed by nongovernmental website, journal, and database. 71.8 percent of information from official websites was in Chinese, while 65 percent was from database.
Conclusions The SARS information from China has contributed enormously to the global information release. Although the amount and rapidity of the information were satisfied, management and deep processing of information should be improved.
