A Flexible Space-Time Scan Statistic for Disease Outbreak Detection and Monitoring
Content Type: Abstract
A time periodic geographic disease surveillance system based on a cylindrical space-time scan statistic proposed by Kulldorff [1] has been used extensively for disease surveillance along with the SaTScan software. This statistic is based on a… read more… are aimed at detecting irregularly shaped clusters which may not be detected by the circular spatial scan statistic. … - 08:40 … Advances in Disease Surveillance 2007;2:70 … A time periodic geographic disease surveillance system … are aimed at detecting irregularly shaped clusters which may not be detected by the circular spatial scan statistic. … -
A Comparison of Ambulatory Care and Emergency Department Encounters as Data Sources for Detection of Clusters of Lower Gastrointestinal Illness
Content Type: Abstract
We sought to compare ambulatory care (AC) and emergency department (ED) data for the detection of clusters of lower gastrointestinal illness, using AC and ED data and AC+ED data combined, from two geographically separate health plans participating… read more… For each data stream— AC, ED, and AC+ED combined—repeat visits were omitted if they occurred within 6 weeks of a previous visit to the same setting for LGI. Generalized linear mixed … -

Multi-Syndrome Analysis of Time Series: A New Concept for Outbreak Investigation
Content Type: Abstract
Temporal anomaly detection is a key component of real time surveillance. Today, despite the abundance of temporal information on multiple syndromes, multivariate investigation of temporal anomalies remains under-explored. Traditionally, an outbreak… read more… abundance of temporal information on multiple syndromes, mul- tivariate investigation of temporal anomalies remains …
