Using big data to enhance pertussis surveillance and response in Shandong Province, China

(2020) Using big data to enhance pertussis surveillance and response in Shandong Province, China. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Pertussis imposes a substantial global health burden and has been reported to resurge over the next few years in many countries. The thesis used big data to predict pertussis infection in Shandong province, China. The research quantified the associations of internet query data and socio-environmental factors with pertussis infection and developed spatial and temporal predictive models based on big data. The findings of the thesis may enhance traditional pertussis surveillance and response via the development of an early warning system based on big data.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
