A Probabilistic Case-finding Algorithm for Chronic Disease Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
There is a clear need for improved surveillance of chronic diseases to guide public health practice and policy. Chronic disease surveillance has tended to use administrative data, due to the need to link encounters for an individual over time and to… read more… surveillance has tended to use administrative data, due to the need to link encounters for an individual over time and to have complete capture of all encounters. Case-detection algorithms generally combine … variables found in the data using Boolean operators (i.e., AND, OR, NOT). For example, a commonly used algorithm …
