Time Series Analysis of Incidence Data of Influenza in Japan
BACKGROUND Much effort has been expended on interpreting the mechanism of influenza epidemics, so as to better predict them. In addition to the obvious annual cycle of influenza epidemics, longer-term incidence patterns are present. These so-called interepidemic periods have long been a focus of epidemiology. However, there has been less investigation of the interepidemic period of influenza ep...
متن کاملReal-time Prescription Surveillance and its Application to Monitoring Seasonal Influenza Activity in Japan
BACKGROUND Real-time surveillance is fundamental for effective control of disease outbreaks, but the official sentinel surveillance in Japan collects information related to disease activity only weekly and updates it with a 1-week time lag. OBJECTIVE To report on a prescription surveillance system using electronic records related to prescription drugs that was started in 2008 in Japan, and to...
متن کاملAbsolute humidity and pandemic versus epidemic influenza.
Experimental and epidemiologic evidence indicates that variations of absolute humidity account for the onset and seasonal cycle of epidemic influenza in temperate regions. A role for absolute humidity in the transmission of pandemic influenza, such as 2009 A/H1N1, has yet to be demonstrated and, indeed, outbreaks of pandemic influenza during more humid spring, summer, and autumn months might ap...
متن کاملAbsolute Humidity and the Seasonal Onset of Influenza in the Continental United States
Much of the observed wintertime increase of mortality in temperate regions is attributed to seasonal influenza. A recent reanalysis of laboratory experiments indicates that absolute humidity strongly modulates the airborne survival and transmission of the influenza virus. Here, we extend these findings to the human population level, showing that the onset of increased wintertime influenza-relat...
متن کاملSeasonal influenza surveillance using prescription data for anti-influenza medications.
Surveillance is critical for both early detection and a timely public health response to infectious diseases. Electronic information systems have been widely adopted by pharmacies in Japan. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using prescription data for influenza surveillance in Japan to facilitate the development of a daily reporting system. This is a retrospective study us...
