An Innovative Design for Conducting Simulation Exercises on Electronic Disease Surveillance System
Content Type: Abstract
In order to be best prepared to identify health events using electronic disease surveillance systems, it is vital for users to participate in regular exercises that realistically simulate how events may present in their system following disease… read more -
Development and pilot study road traffic injury surveillance, Kaduna Nigeria
Content Type: Abstract
Road Traffic Injury is common cause of unintentional injury globally and Low and middle income countries account for 90%of 1.3 million Road Traffic Injury (RTI) deaths. In Africa region, Nigeria accounts for 25% of RTI mortality but has no… read more -
An Open Source Web Services Toolkit for Event Detection Algorithms
Content Type: Abstract
As major disease outbreaks are rare, empirical evaluation of statistical methods for outbreak detection requires the use of modified or completely simulated health event data in addition to real data. Comparisons of different techniques will be more… read more -
An Outbreak Detection Algorithm that Efficiently Performs Complete Bayesian Model Averaging Over All Possible Spatial Distributions of Disease
Content Type: Abstract
Many disease-outbreak detection algorithms, such as control chart methods, use frequentist statistical techniques. We describe a Bayesian algorithm that uses data D consisting of current day counts of some event (e.g., emergency department (ED)… read more -
Analyses of National Syndromic Surveillance Data: Real-Time Hospital, Veterans Affairs (VA) & Department of Defense (DoD) Data
Content Type: Abstract
Since July 2004 the BioSense program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has received data from DoD military and VA outpatient clinics (not in real time). In January 2006 real-time hospital data (e.g. chief complaints and… read more -
Analysis of Notifiable Diseases Detected by Syndromic Surveillance in Taiwan
Content Type: Abstract
The paper outlined the major findings and statistical results of syndromic surveillance system in Taiwan since year 2000. -
Analysis of Syndrome Definitions for Gastrointestinal Illness with ICD9 Codes for Gastroenteritis during the 2006-07 Norovirus Season in Boston
Content Type: Abstract
We report on a retrospective analysis of gastrointestinal syndrome definitions based on chief complaints and ICD9 diagnosis for gastroenteritis during the 2006-07 season of increased norovirus activity. -
Anomaly Pattern Detection for Biosurveillance
Content Type: Abstract
We propose a new method for detecting patterns of disease cases that correspond to emerging outbreaks. Our Anomaly Pattern Detector (APD) first uses a "local anomaly detector" to identify individually anomalous records and then searches over subsets… read more
