The primary purpose of a disease surveillance system is to provide data for the detection of changes in the incidence of the disease. Methods for the analysis of data from surveillance systems are reviewed. A new procedure is proposed for use when the system includes geographically dispersed reporting units, such as hospitals or administrative regions. The method is based on the cusum statistic, and combines information from different units according to their geographic relationships.
疾病监测系统的主要目的是提供数据,以检测疾病发病率的变化。本文回顾了监测系统数据分析方法。当系统包括地理上分散的报告单位(如医院或行政区)时,提出了一种新的程序。该方法基于累积和统计量,并根据不同单位之间的地理关系合并信息。
