Spatial cluster detection through constrained dynamic programming
Content Type: Abstract
The spatial scan statistic [1] is the most used measure for cluster strenght. The evaluation of all possible subsets of regions in a large dataset is computationally infeasible. Many heuristics have appeared recently to compute approximate values… read more… Int J Health Geograph. 2010;9:55. *Luiz Duczmal E-mail: duczmal@ufmg.br (page number not for citation purpose) … -
A Demonstration of Meaningfully Using the ISDS Recommended Data Elements
Content Type: Abstract
National Health IT Initiatives are helping to advance the state of automated disease surveillance through incentives to health care facilities to implement electronic medical records and provide data to health departments and use collaborative… read more… meaningful use; interoperability; cloud *Wayne Loschen E-mail: wayne.loschen@jhuapl.edu (page number not for citation … -
The Evolution of ESSENCE
Content Type: Abstract
In development for over fourteen years, ESSENCE is a disease surveillance system utilized by public health stakeholders at city, county, state, regional, national, and global levels. The system was developed by a team from the Johns Hopkins… read more… Health80. 2003;80(2 Suppl 1):i32�42. *Wayne Loschen E-mail: wayne.loschen@jhuapl.edu (page number not for citation … -
Multi-stream Influenza Surveillance for Situational Awareness
Content Type: Abstract
Much progress has been made on the development of novel systems for influenza surveillance, or explored the choices of algorithms for detecting the start of a peak season. The use of multiple streams of surveillance data has been shown to improve… read more… data.

The association of influenza vaccination with Influenza-like illness among adults aged 65 years and older in the United States
Content Type: Abstract
After the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, CDC initiated community-based surveillance of self-reported influenza-like illness (ILI)[1], defined as the presence of fever with cough or sore throat. Although ILI is frequently attributed to other pathogens… read more… States. JAMA. 2003;289(2):179�86. *Mayuko Takayama E-mail: mayukot@u.washington.edu (page number not for citation … -
Advantages of real time surveillance for outbreak detection and management
Content Type: Abstract
It is admitted that real time surveillance system permits to reduce delay of outbreak detection, and preventive measures implementation. It is usually based on pre diagnostic numeric data collection and transmission. ASTER (Alerte et surveillance en… read more… Forces.

Adaptive Likelihood Ratio Methods for the Detection of Space-Time Disease Clusters
Content Type: Abstract
Data obtained through public health surveillance systems are used to detect and locate clusters of cases of diseases in space-time, which may indicate the occurrence of an outbreak or an epidemic. We present a methodology based on adaptive… read more… ISBN: 978-1-61209-516-5; 2011. *Luiz Duczmal E-mail: duczmal@ufmg.br (page number not for citation purpose) … -
Spatial Cluster Detection in Case-Control Datasets with the Autonomous Leaves Graph
Content Type: Abstract
Ordering-based approaches [1,2] and quadtrees [3] have been introduced recently to detect multiple spatial clusters in point event datasets. The Autonomous Leaves Graph (ALG) [4] is an efficient graph-based data structure to handle the communication… read more… town.
