Comparing Prevalence Estimates From Population-Based Surveys to Inform Surveillance Using Electronic Health Records
INTRODUCTION Electronic health record (EHR) systems provide an opportunity to use a novel data source for population health surveillance. Validation studies that compare prevalence estimates from EHRs and surveys most often use difference testing, which can, because of large sample sizes, lead to detection of significant differences that are not meaningful. We explored a novel application of th...
متن کاملModelling bias in combining small area prevalence estimates from multiple surveys
SUMMARY: Combining information from multiple surveys can improve the quality of small area estimates. Customary approaches, such as the multiple-frame and statistical matching methods, require individual level data, whereas in practice often only multiple aggregate estimates are available. Commercial surveys usually produce such estimates without clear description of the methodology that is use...
متن کاملEstimates of probable dementia prevalence from population-based surveys compared with dementia prevalence estimates based on meta-analyses
BACKGROUND National data on dementia prevalence are not always available, yet it may be possible to obtain estimates from large surveys that include dementia screening instruments. In Australia, many of the dementia prevalence estimates are based on European data collected between 15 and 50 years ago. We derived population-based estimates of probable dementia and possible cognitive impairment i...
متن کاملUnbiased estimates of galaxy scaling relations from photometric redshift surveys
Many physical properties of galaxies correlate with one another, and these correlations are often used to constrain galaxy formation models. Such correlations include the color-magnitude relation, the luminosity-size relation, the Fundamental Plane, etc. However, the transformation from observable (e.g. angular size, apparent brightness) to physical quantity (physical size, luminosity), is ofte...
متن کاملNon-response bias in estimates of HIV prevalence due to the mobility of absentees in national population-based surveys: a study of nine national surveys
OBJECTIVES To measure the bias in national estimates of HIV prevalence in population-based surveys caused by mobility and refusal to test. METHODS Data from nine demographic and health surveys and AIDS indicator surveys were used. Non-responders were divided into three groups: (i) "refusals" who were interviewed but not tested; (ii) "refusals" who were present in the household but not intervi...
