Using Change Point Detection for Monitoring the Quality of Aggregate Data
Content Type: Abstract
Data consisting of counts or indicators aggregated from multiple sources pose particular problems for data quality monitoring when the users of the aggregate data are blind to the individual sources. This arises when agencies wish to share data but… read more… process then the quality of the aggregate data may be compromised.

The validity of emergency department influenza-like-illness (ILI) for laboratory-confirmed influenza in children
Content Type: Abstract
Syndromic surveillance systems use electronic health-related data to support near-real time disease surveillance. Over the last 10 years, the use of ILI syndromes defined from emergency department (ED) data has become an increasingly accepted… read more… tion of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) com- pared to most years, and (2) the ‘‘concomitant’’ … Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.30, 0.68) and 0.72 (CI: 0.70, 0.74) respectively, for the ‘‘Febrile’’ definition and … ehtj11115 ehtj11120 ehtj11024 ehtj11060 ehtj11110 26-50 ehtj11034 ehtj11198 ehtj11174 ehtj11048 ehtj11154 … -
Systematic Comparison of Algorithms Used in Syndromic Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Varied approaches have been used by syndromic surveillance systems for aberration detection. However, the performance of these methods has been evaluated only across a small range of epidemic characteristics.
