Fast and Flexible Outbreak Detection by Linear-Time Subset Scanning
Content Type: Abstract
The spatial scan statistic [1] detects significant spatial clusters of disease by maximizing a likelihood ratio statistic over a large set of spatial regions. Typical spatial scan approaches either constrain the search regions to… read more… Information: Daniel B.

Incorporating Learning into Disease Surveillance Systems
Content Type: Abstract
Current state-of-the-art outbreak detection methods [1-3] combine spatial, temporal, and other covariate information from multiple data streams to detect emerging clusters of disease. However, these approaches use fixed methods and models for… read more… Further Information: Daniel B.

Methodology for prediction of outbreaks of diseases of military importance
Content Type: Abstract
Traditional public health practice has relied on public health surveillance of disease to detect outbreaks in an effort to mitigate their effects. Often the earlier an outbreak is detected, the greater the mitigation of its effects. The logical… read more… Buczak et al.; licensee Emerging Health Threats Journal. www.eht-journal.org 55 References 1 Burnette WN, Hoke CH, … Health Threats Journal AL Buczak et al. 2011, 4:s9 www.eht-journal.org page 2/2 66 … -
Automated detection of data entry errors in a real time surveillance system
Content Type: Abstract
Real-Time Biosurveillance Program (RTBP) introduces modern surveillance technology to health departments in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu, India. Triage data from each patient visit (basic demographics, signs, symptoms, preliminary… read more… L Chen et al.; licensee Emerging Health Threats Journal. www.eht-journal.org 9 Low quality of data can easily … Emerging Health Threats Journal L Chen et al. 2011, 4:s69 www.eht-journal.org page 2/2 10 … -
Automated surveillance and public health reporting for gestational diabetes incidence and care using electronic health record data
Content Type: Abstract
Public health departments have a strong interest in monitoring the incidence, care, and complications of gestational diabetes, as it is associated with poor outcomes for infants and increased risk of diabetes type II for mothers.… read more… Klompas et al.; licensee Emerging Health Threats Journal. www.eht-journal.org 23 medical nutrition therapy, 28% were … Health Threats Journal M Klompas et al. 2011, 4:s34 www.eht-journal.org page 2/2 24 … -
Building an automated Bayesian case detection system
Content Type: Abstract
Current practices of automated case detection fall into the extremes of diagnostic accuracy and timeliness. In regards to diagnostic accuracy, electronic laboratory reporting (ELR) is at one extreme and syndromic surveillance is at… read more… Tsui et al.; licensee Emerging Health Threats Journal. www.eht-journal.org 68 Acknowledgements The project is … Health Threats Journal F-C Tsui et al. 2011, 4:s101 www.eht-journal.org page 2/2 69 … -
A Voronoi based scan for space-time cluster detection in point event data
Content Type: Abstract
Scan statistics are highly successful for the evaluation of space-time clusters. Recently, concepts from the graph theory were applied to evaluate the set of potential clusters. Wieland et al. introduced a graph theoretical… read more… Duczmal et al.; licensee Emerging Health Threats Journal. www.eht-journal.org 1818 at risk of 1000 individuals, 100 … Health Threats Journal LH Duczmal et al. 2011, 4:s20 www.eht-journal.org page 2/2 1919 … -
Adapting a syndromic biosurveillance system to monitor veterans’ health impact associated with the gulf coast oil spill
Content Type: Abstract
On 20 April 2010, an explosion on an offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico led to a prolonged uncontrolled release of crude oil. Both clean-up workers and coastal residents were potentially at high risk for respiratory and other… read more… Rangel et al.; licensee Emerging Health Threats Journal. www.eht-journal.org 28 impact of the spill and improving the … Health Threats Journal MC Rangel et al. 2011, 4:s138 www.eht-journal.org page 2/2 29 …
