Content Type: Abstract
We developed, implemented and evaluated Meningitis and Encephalitis (M/E) syndrome case definitions based on electronic Emergency Department (ED) chief complaint data; and assessed their ability to detect aberrations that correspond with M/E… read more -
Bayesian Network Data Fusion Visualization
Content Type: Abstract
A Bayesian Network (BN) is a probabilistic graphical model representing dependencies and relationships. The structure of the network and conditional probabilities capture an expert’s view of a system. BN have been applied to… read more -
Benchmark Data Generation from Discrete Event Contact Network Models
Content Type: Abstract
Historical data are essential for development of detection algorithms. Spatio-temporal data, however, are difficult to come by due to variety of issues concerning patient confidentiality. Several approaches have been used to … read more -
Benchmarking Temporal Surveillance Techniques
Content Type: Abstract
Benchmarking of temporal surveillance techniques is a critical step in the development of an effective syndromic surveillance system. Unfortunately, holding “bakeoffs” to blindly compare approaches is a difficult and often fruitless enterprise, in… read more -
Beyond Detection: Attack Characterization with Syndromic and Clinical Data
Content Type: Abstract
Most research in syndromic surveillance has emphasized early detection, but clinical diagnosis of the index case will tend to occur before detection by syndromic surveillance for certain types of outbreaks [1]. Syndromic surveillance may, however,… read more -
Beyond Traditional Surveillance: Applying Syndromic Surveillance to Developing Settings- Opportunities and Challenges
Content Type: Abstract
The revised International Health Regulations (IHR) have expanded traditional infectious disease notification to include surveillance diseases of international importance, including emerging infectious diseases. However, there are no clearly… read more -
