[The characteristics of using short-term prediction methods with viral hepatitis morbidity in small areas].

The results of the approbation of the method of using the regressive equation for the short-term prognostication of viral hepatitis morbidity in limited areas (a region or a city). The specific features of the epidemic process, characteristic of limited areas, have been considered. These findings serve as the basis for proposing some methods of prognostication within the limits of an individual region or city, thus making it possible to improve the orientation of prophylactic measures aimed at decreasing viral hepatitis A morbidity.
