: The use of routine emergency department data according to the NoKeDa data model for surveillance and research purposes was assessed and approved by RKI’s data protection officer. For data from the ESEG-project, an ethics vote was not necessary as disclosed by the ethics committee of the physician’s chamber Hessen, due to the anonymized nature of the data. The AKTIN emergency department registry received a positive ethics vote for the use of their data from the ethics committee of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, medical faculty (160/15 and 52/21). Individual informed patient consent was not obtained, which is not required and not feasible for this type of study and the setting of emergency department care, as regulated within the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act. Art. 89 GDPR, Art. 9(2) GDPR and §22 German Federal Data Protection Act. They give exceptions from the necessity of informed patient consent, when the data is needed to answer public health relevant research questions. AKTIN’s compliance with those regulations has been addressed by an extensive data protection concept []. Additionally, the use of data from emergency departments from AKTIN for syndromic surveillance was approved by the AKTIN scientific committee (Project-ID 2019–003), each of the included emergency departments has consented to be included in the present study. All of the research described in this manuscript was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
