Predicting Measles Outbreaks in the United States: Evaluation of Machine Learning Approaches

Predicting Measles Outbreaks in the United States: Evaluation of Machine Learning Approaches

However, measles has recently resurged in the United States, with notable peaks occurring in 2014 (n=667 cases), 2018 (n=375), and 2019 (n=1282) [4-8]. Despite this resurgence, measles outbreaks are still rare events that are difficult to predict. Known correlates of measles exposure and transmission include international importations, high population density, and low vaccination coverage [9-13].

Worldwide Evolution of Vaccinable and Nonvaccinable Viral Skin Infections: Google Trends Analysis

Seasonality and trends in worldwide internet searches for varicella, herpes, HFMD, measles, molluscum contagiosum, Pityriasis rosea, Roseola, rubella, warts, and zoster. a HFMD: hand, foot, and mouth disease. b MC: molluscum contagiosum. Seasonality coefficients (moving averages) of varicella, HFMD, measles, molluscum contagiosum, and Pityriasis rosea. For the clarity of the graph, only the infections with the highest seasonality coefficients are represented.

Social Media Sharing of Articles About Measles in a European Context: Text Analysis Study

The first measles vaccine was approved in 1963. Before the invention of this vaccine, measles caused 6 million deaths annually [1]. Since use of this vaccine became common, the number of measles cases worldwide has started to decline. A few years after the first vaccination campaign, the number of new measles cases plunged to one-twentieth of the previous figure [2]. In some countries, the cases of measles have been eliminated almost completely, although local epidemics still occur from time to time [3].

Public Perception Analysis of Tweets During the 2015 Measles Outbreak: Comparative Study Using Convolutional Neural Network Models

Nearly 40 million cases of measles, caused by a highly contagious virus, lead to over 300,000 deaths worldwide every year [1]. In the United States, measles was officially declared to be eliminated in 2000 thanks to the successful nationwide administration of a 2-dose vaccination program [2]. However, recent years have seen the reemergence of measles outbreaks in the United States. The most recent large-scale measles outbreak occurred in early 2015 with a high concentration of cases in California [3].

MHealth to Improve Measles Immunization in Guinea-Bissau: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Current studies from the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health (INDEPTH) and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) reveal a low measles vaccination (MV) rate in Guinea-Bissau that has not increased in accordance with the increasing coverage of other vaccinations.

The Mobile Solutions for Immunization (M-SIMU) Trial: A Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial That Assesses the Impact of Mobile Phone Delivered Reminders and Travel Subsidies to Improve Childhood Immunization Coverage Rates and Timeliness in Western Kenya

The Mobile Solutions for Immunization (M-SIMU) Trial: A Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial That Assesses the Impact of Mobile Phone Delivered Reminders and Travel Subsidies to Improve Childhood Immunization Coverage Rates and Timeliness in Western Kenya

Text message reminders are sent three days and one day before pentavalent vaccination visits scheduled at 6, 10, and 14 weeks, and measles vaccination at 9 months of age. Incentives are delivered to the participant’s mobile phone if the participant’s child is brought for immunization within 2 weeks of the scheduled date. All eligible mothers/caretakers residing within a study village will be assigned to the study arm that the village was allocated.
