Biosurveillance in Outbreak Investigations

Biosecurity and Bioterrorism: Biodefense Strategy, Practice, and Science, 2013
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11 and the anthrax attacks in 2001, public health entities implemented automated surveillance systems based on disease syndromes for early detection of bioterror events and to increase timeliness of responses.

Biosurveillance humaine, biomarqueurs et biosurveillance environnementale

Annales Pharmaceutiques Françaises, 2012
Human biomonitoring is a form of environmental public health surveillance. It is not to be confused with environmental biomonitoring (or ecomonitoring), which is the observation of living organisms implemented with the objective of monitoring quality of environments.

Automated time series forecasting for biosurveillance

Statistics in Medicine, 2007
AbstractFor robust detection performance, traditional control chart monitoring for biosurveillance is based on input data free of trends, day‐of‐week effects, and other systematic behaviour. Time series forecasting methods may be used to remove this behaviour by subtracting forecasts from observations to form residuals for algorithmic input.

Biosurveillance of ED visits for gastroenteritis

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2007
Our objective was to characterize emergency department (ED) visits for gastroenteritis by season and age and develop a predictive model.We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients seen in 19 EDs from 1988 to 2002. We examined differences in the annual peaks of younger (60 months) age groups and developed a time series regression model.Of the ...

Statistical Challenges in BioSurveillance

2009
One goal in biosurveillance is to detect patterns in disease rates, such as temporal and/or geographic clustering. Traditionally, disease rates are available by geographic unit over weekly, monthly, or yearly time bins, and covariates such as age, gender, and socio-economic status can be used to adjust predicted rates prior to testing for clustering ...

Biosurveillance: A Modern Look

Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety, and Biodefense Law, 2020
Abstract The early part of the twenty-first century saw a revolution in the field of Homeland Security. The 9/11 attacks, shortly followed thereafter by the Anthrax Attacks, served as a wakeup call to the United States and showed the inadequacy of the current state of the nation’s Homeland Security operations. Biodefense, and as a direct

Radiation (and Medical) Biosurveillance

2007
Surveillance and management for therapy-related normal tissue damage in survivors of both childlhood and adult-onset cancer is necessary to maximize health-related quality of life. Progress by the (Children’s Oncology Group (COG) can be modeled or adapted for a adult malignancy, and is described in this report.

Seasonality Assessment for Biosurveillance Systems

2007
Biosurveillance systems for infectious diseases typically deal with nonlinear time series. This nonlinearity is due to the non-Gaussian and nonstationary nature of an outcome process. Infectious diseases (ID), waterborne and foodborne enteric infections in particular, are typically characterized by a sequence of sudden outbreaks, which are often ...

Biosurveillance grid: evaluation of the distribution of biosurveillance data across multiple computers.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2008
Storing public health data in a centralize location for biosurveillance can be expensive and susceptible to server down time. We compared the performance of a distributed data grid against a centralized database to determine if a grid framework can provide fast, reliable, and inexpensive biosurveillance system.
