Statistical Models for Biosurveillance of Multiple Organisms

چکیده
Introduction There has been much research on statistical methods of prospective outbreak detection that are aimed at identifying unusual clusters of one syndrome or disease, and some work on multivariate surveillance methods (1). In England and Wales, automated laboratory surveillance of infectious diseases has been undertaken since the early 1990’s. The statistical methodology of this automated system is described in (2). However, there has been little research on outbreak detection methods that are suited to large, multiple surveillance systems involving thousands of different organisms.

Automated Biosurveillance Data from England and Wales, 1991–2011
Outbreak detection systems for use with very large multiple surveillance databases must be suited both to the data available and to the requirements of full automation. To inform the development of more effective outbreak detection algorithms, we analyzed 20 years of data (1991-2011) from a large laboratory surveillance database used for outbreak detection in England and Wales. The data relate ...

Statistical Approach to Biosurveillance in Crisis: What is Next?
Motivated by the threat of bioterrorism, biosurveillance / syndromic surveillance systems are now in crisis: with the original purpose of early detection, and more than 10 years in existence, no health department has reported using them for this purpose. This has led to a shift away from only early detection of bioterrorist attacks. The goal has been expanded in two directions: firstly, to incl...

Introduction Public health departments need enhanced surveillance tools for population monitoring, and external researchers have expertise and methods to provide these tools. However, collaboration with potential solution developers and students in academia, industry, and government has not been sufficiently close or well informed for rapid progress. Many peer-reviewed papers on biosurveillance...
