Métodos para la vigilancia de eventos en salud by Gisele Coutin Marie, Jorge Borges Soria, Ricardo Batista Moliner, Andrés Zambrano Cárdenas, Pablo Feal Cañizares

“…The first of them is devoted to the comparison of what has been observed with the historical behaviour through a simple calculation procedure, while the second one is conceived for the processing of very low incidence events, which are difficult to treat with any of the traditional procedures, it uses Poisson distribution curve. Good results have been obtained with both methods since they allow the detection of deviations from the usual behaviour with enough accuracy and their use was recommeded in our provincial and municipal units.…”

Power estimation using simulations for air pollution time-series studies by Winquist Andrea, Klein Mitchel, Tolbert Paige, Sarnat Stefanie

“…Mean daily emergency department visit counts, model parameter value estimates and daily values for air pollution and meteorological variables from actual data (8/1/98 to 7/31/99 in Atlanta) were used to generate simulated daily outcome counts with specified temporal associations with air pollutants and randomly generated error based on a Poisson distribution. Power was estimated by conducting analyses of the association between simulated daily outcome counts and air pollution in 2000 data sets for each scenario. …”
