In FluMoDL: Influenza-Attributable Mortality with Distributed-Lag Models

Description

Surveillance data from Greece used to estimate influenza-attributable mortality using FluMoDL, covering the period from May 2013 to October 2017. Contains the following:

• A daily time series of (all-cause) deaths

• A time series of daily mean temperatures

• A weekly series of Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) rates, calculated via sentinel surveillance

• Three weekly series of laboratory sample percentage positives by influenza type and subtype: A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and B. These can be multiplied with the respective ILI rates, to create type-specific influenza incidence proxies (see Goldstein et al. PLoS Med. 2011;8(7):e1001051)

Usage

data(greece)

Format

An list with two elements of class `data.frame`: 'greece$daily' contains a `data.frame` with columns 'date' (of class `Date`), 'deaths' and 'temperature'. 'greece$weekly' contains a `data.frame` with columns 'yearweek' (integer, in YYYYWW format), 'ILI' (ILI rate per 1000 patient consultations), 'ppH1', 'ppH3' and 'ppB' (percentage positives for A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and B respectively).
