Project description
Development of R scripts to support surveillance of Legionnaires’ disease data and produce automated analyses and reports
Context situation
The objectives of the project were:
- To support Legionnaires’ disease surveillance based on four independent datasets:
-
- Legionnaires’ disease annual data (LEGI)
-
- Travel Associated Legionnaires’ disease data (TALD)
-
- Arrivals at tourist accommodation establishments from Eurostat database
-
- Passengers in commercial flights from the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
- To develop a joint analysis of travellers and Legionnaires’ disease data to support the process of risk assessments and routine monitoring of travel associated events
Project activities
Plans of analysis
Development of detailed plans of analysis for each of the four analysis:
- Legionnaires’ disease annual data (LEGI)
- Travel Associated Legionnaires’ disease data (TALD)
- Determinant data:
- data on arrivals at tourist accommodation establishments from Eurostat database
- and data on the volume of passengers in commercial flights from the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
- Joint analysis of travellers and Legionnaires’ disease data
Workshops
Preparing and delivering workshop materials for ECDC staff for each of the four analyses.
Automated and reproducible analysis in R
Development of R scripts for each of the four analyses, including automated and comprehensive HTML reports for data quality and data analysis.
