For comparison, another control group was recruited via random digit dialling (\u2018classical controls\u2019). Panel members received questionnaires by email; classical controls were interviewed by phone. Both control groups were frequency-matched to cases by age and sex; the classical controls also by federal state. Cases and controls were queried mainly about fruit consumption since melons were the suspected infection vehicle. We calculated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using single-variable and multivariable logistic regression. The study included 32 cases, 81 panel controls and 110 classical controls. Analyses identified melons, particularly Galia melons, as the most likely infection vehicle using either control group (panel controls \u2013 aOR 12, CI 2.7\u201366; classical controls \u2013 aOR 55, CI 8\u20131100). Recruitment of panel versus classical controls required substantially less person-time (8 vs. 111\u00a0hours) and was about 10 times less expensive. We recommend this timely and reliable control recruitment method when investigating diffuse foodborne outbreaks with CCS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268823000493","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]],"date-time":"2023-04-05T09:32:15Z","timestamp":1680687135000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Recruiting controls from an online panel for a case\u2013control study enabled a timely and reliable foodborne <i>Salmonella<\/i> outbreak investigation, Germany 2021"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"151","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5543-3717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"\u0141uczy\u0144ska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3382-495X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johannes","family":"Dreesman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elke","family":"Mertens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mareike","family":"Wollenweber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Delphine","family":"Perriat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0516-1711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bettina M","family":"Rosner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268823000493_r13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268819001870"},{"key":"S0950268823000493_r12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268815002290"},{"key":"S0950268823000493_r6","first-page":"20714","article-title":"Reducing the barriers against analytical epidemiological studies in investigations of local foodborne disease outbreaks in Germany \u2013 A starter kit for local health authorities","volume":"19","author":"Werber","year":"2014","journal-title":"Euro surveillance bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European Communicable Disease Bulletin"},{"key":"S0950268823000493_r15","unstructured":"[15] European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, European Food Safety Authority (2021) Multi-Country Outbreak of Salmonella Braenderup ST22, Presumed to be Linked to Imported Melons \u2013 20 July 2021, Stockholm.
