Potential Biases in Estimating Absolute and Relative Case-Fatality Risks during Outbreaks
Marc Lipsitch,Marc Lipsitch,Christl A. Donnelly,Christophe Fraser,Isobel M. Blake,Anne Cori,Ilaria Dorigatti,Neil M. Ferguson,Tini Garske,Harriet L. Mills,Steven Riley,Maria D. Van Kerkhove,Miguel A. Hernán +12 more
TL;DR: Two forms of bias that may affect the estimation of the overall case-fatality risk—preferential ascertainment of severe cases and bias from reporting delays—are described and solutions that have been proposed and implemented in past epidemics are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of epidemiological parameters from Ebola outbreaks to inform early public health decision-making.
TL;DR: A comprehensive database of estimates of epidemiological parameters based on data from past outbreaks, including the incubation period distribution, case fatality rate, basic reproduction number, effective reproduction number and delay distributions, is compiled.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of rapid diagnostics in managing Ebola epidemics
Pierre Nouvellet,Tini Garske,Harriet L. Mills,Gemma Nedjati-Gilani,Wes Hinsley,Isobel M. Blake,Maria D. Van Kerkhove,Maria D. Van Kerkhove,Anne Cori,Ilaria Dorigatti,Thibaut Jombart,Steven Riley,Christophe Fraser,Christl A. Donnelly,Neil M. Ferguson +14 more
TL;DR: If such tests had been available throughout the recent epidemic, it is estimated, for Sierra Leone, that their use in combination with confirmatory polymerase chain-reaction testing might have reduced the scale of the epidemic by over a third.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A statistical framework is developed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the transmission patterns underlying the 681 MERS-CoV cases detected in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between January 2013 and July 2014 and estimates that 12% of cases were infected from the reservoir, the rest via human-to-human transmission in clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneities in the case fatality ratio in the West African Ebola outbreak 2013–2016

TL;DR: A statistical analysis was developed to detect outliers in CFR between districts of residence and treatment centres (TCs), adjusting for known factors influencing survival and identified eight districts and three TCs with a CFR significantly different from the average.
