Abstract:
|
In the presence of an epidemic, it is important for both governmental and healthcare organizations to have indications of changes in rates of exposure among patients and the general population. We present here an approach to collecting and analyzing data on viral exposure among patients in a hospital system and performing statistical adjustment to estimate viral incidence and trends in the community. We are currently applying this monitoring and analysis protocol in a hospital system in Indiana, and this could serve as a model for other medical groups to perform local data collection and analysis, ultimately with an eye to linking to national data collection efforts and population generalizability.
