This study aims to explore the application value of the Bayesian Time Structure Sequence (BSTS) model in estimating the acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) epidemics. The reported AHC cases spanning from January 2011 to October 2022 in China were collated. Utilizing R software, the BSTS and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models were constructed using the data from January 2011 to December 2021. The prediction effect of both models was compared using the data from January to October 2022, and finally the AHC incidence from November 2022 to December 2023 was predicted. The results indicated that forecast errors under the BSTS model were lower than those under the ARIMA model. The actual AHC incidence in July 2022 from the ARIMA model deviated from the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the predicted value. However, the observed AHC incidence from the BSTS model fell within the 95% CI of the predicted value. Notably, the BSTS model predicted 26,474 new AHC cases in China from November 2022 to December 2023, exhibiting better prediction performance compared to the ARIMA model. This indicates that the BSTS model possesses a high application value for forecasting the epidemic trends of AHC, making it a valuable tool for disease surveillance and prevention strategies.

Purpose: This study sets out to explore the forecasting value in syphilis incidence of the Bayesian structural time series (BSTS) model in Jiangsu Province.
Methods: The seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and BSTS models were constructed using the series from January 2017 to December 2021, and the prediction accuracy of both models was tested using the series from January 2022 to November 2022.
Results: From January 2017 to November 2022, the total number of syphilis cases in Jiangsu Province was 170629, with an average monthly notification cases of 2403.
Analyzing the dynamics of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis during the COVID-19 pandemic in Seoul, Korea: a multifaceted time series approach.
Epidemiol Health
November 2024
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Yeungnam University Hospital, Daegu, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic affected cases of appendicitis (a stomach problem) in Seoul from 2018 to 2020.
- Researchers found that while overall and simple cases of appendicitis went down, more complicated cases were going up.
- They believe that less people visiting doctors during the pandemic is a big reason for these changes, and we need new plans to help manage health problems during situations like this.
Integrating Bayesian Approaches and Expert Knowledge for Forecasting Continuous Glucose Monitoring Values in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
IEEE J Biomed Health Inform
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Effective diabetes management requires precise forecasting of blood glucose levels, particularly for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which has unique challenges compared to Type 1 diabetes.
- This study proposes a new forecasting system using a dataset from 100 patients, combining expert knowledge with data-driven methods to accurately predict glucose levels.
- The results demonstrate strong predictive accuracy with low error rates, laying the groundwork for personalized diabetes management strategies that could improve care and interventions for T2DM.
