Real-time Warning and Signal Verification for Infectious Disease Outbreaks using Syndromic Surveillance System in Rural Jiangxi Province, China
Content Type: Abstract
Despite the global emergence of syndromic surveillance systems and theories in recent years, the practical performance of this surveillance method under real circumstances had been rarely evaluated, especially in resource-limited areas. Since April… read more -
The Growth and Variation of Symptoms of Influenza-like Illness: An Application of the Linear Growth Curve Model in Syndromic Surveillance in Rural China
Content Type: Abstract
Symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI) were reported daily by health workers via the integrated syndromic surveillance system in rural China (ISSC)(1). Objective To analyze the growth and variation of ILI reports using… read more -
Modeling spatial and temporal variability by Bayesian multilevel model
Content Type: Abstract
The early detection of outbreaks of diseases is one of the most challenging objectives of epidemiological surveillance systems. In order to achieve this goal, the primary foundation is using those big surveillance data for understanding and… read more -
Use of Control Bar Matrix for Outbreak Detection in Syndromic Surveillance System
Content Type: Abstract
Aberration detection methods are essential for analyzing and interpreting large quantity of nonspecific real-time data collected in syndromic surveillance system. However, the challenge lies in distinguishing true outbreak signals from a large… read more -
Modeling Spatial Heterogeneity with Excess Zeroes from School Absenteeism dSata
Content Type: Abstract
Absenteeism has been considered as a potential indicator for the early detection of infectious disease outbreaks in population, especially in primary schools. However, in practice this data are often characterized by an excess of zeros and spatial… read more -
Spatial Clustering of ILI in Yunnan Province, China, Based on a Geographical Information System
Content Type: Abstract
Influenza is a highly contagious, acute respiratory disease that causes periodic seasonal epidemics and global pandemics[1]. Yunnan Province is characterized by poverty, multi-ethnic, and cross-border movement, which maybe be susceptible of… read more -
On estimation the relative risk of small area and visualization spatio-temporal map
Content Type: Abstract
Disease mapping is a method used to descript the geographical variation in risk (heterogeneity of risk) and to provide the potential reason (factors or confounders) to explain the distribution. Possibly the most famous uses of disease mapping in… read more -
Visualization the dynamic interactive maps for results of spatio-temporal scanning
Content Type: Abstract
Scan statistics is one of the most widely used method for detecting and locating the clusters of disease or health-related events through the space-time dimension. Although the Specific software of SatScan is available for free and easier to use… read more
