Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Analyses that adjust disease incidence data for reporting delays are often based on grouped data. A way of grouping data based on the quarter in which a case is reported, using all cases reported by a given cutoff date, is compared with the usual method of categorization based on a time-delay between diagnosis and reporting. The two methods of tabulation are illustrated using cases of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) diagnosed and reported in Australia. A simple simulation study confirms that estimates of adjusted quarterly AIDS counts based on the quarter of report grouping are less variable than those based on the time-delay grouping. |
