Evaluation of Temporal Aberration Detection Methods in New York City Syndromic Data
Content Type: Abstract
The NYC syndromic surveillance system has been monitoring syndromes from NYC emergency department (ED) visits for over a decade. We applied several aberration detection methodologies to a time series of ED visits in NYC spiked with synthetic… read more… monitoring syndromes from NYC emergency department (ED) visits for over a decade.

Application of a Bayesian Spatiotemporal Surveillance Method to NYC Syndromic Data
Content Type: Abstract
As technology advances, the implementation of statistically and computationally intensive methods to detect unusual clusters of illness becomes increasingly feasible at the state and local level [2]. Bayesian methods allow for the incorporation of… read more… cluster detection [1] to NYC Emergency Department (ED) visits.

Risk of Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality in Relation to Temperature
Content Type: Abstract
Extreme temperatures are consistently shown to have an effect on CVD-related mortality [1, 2]. A large multi-city study of mortality demonstrated a cold-day and hot-day weather effect on CVD-related deaths, with the larger impact occurring on the… read more… of temperature on CVD-related emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and mortality on a large, … of temperature on CVD-related emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and mortality on a large, … -
Using Syndromic Surveillance to Investigate Tattoo-related Skin Infections in NYC
Content Type: Abstract
In 2012, an outbreak of Mycobacterium chelonae infections in tattoo recipients in Rochester, NY was found to be associated with premixed tattoo ink contaminated before distribution.1 In May 2012, a case of M. chelonae was reported in a New York City… read more… premixed tattoo ink contaminated before distribution.1 In May 2012, a case of M. chelonae was reported in a New York … premixed tattoo ink contaminated before distribution.1 In May 2012, a case of M. chelonae was reported in a New York …
