Finding the Right Distribution for Highly Skewed Zero-inflated Clinical Data by Resmi Gupta, Bradley S. Marino, James F Cnota, Richard F Ittenbach

“…A clinical example of children with electrophysiologic disorders in which many of the children are treated without surgery is provided. The purpose of the current study was to identify the optimal modeling strategy for highly skewed, zeroinflated data often observed in the clinical setting by: (a) simulating skewed, zero-inflated count data; (b) fitting simulated data with Poisson, Negative Binomial, Zero-Inflated Poisson (ZIP) and Zero-inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) models; and, (c) applying the aforementioned models to actual, highly<br />skewed, clinical data of children with an EP disorder. …”

Effectiveness of a national mass distribution campaign of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying on clinical malaria in Malawi, 2018–2020 by Audrey E Pettifor, Tisungane Mvalo, Irving Hoffman, Jonathan J Juliano, Varun Goel, Jennifer S Smith, Jessie K Edwards, Michael Emch, Hillary M Topazian, Austin Gumbo, Katerina Brandt, Michael Kayange

“…The WHO recommends mass distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs) every 3 years, but a national longitudinal evaluation has never been conducted in Malawi to determine LLIN effectiveness lifespans.Methods Using District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) health facility data, available from January 2018 to June 2020, we assessed malaria risk before and after a mass distribution campaign, stratifying by age group and comparing risk differences (RDs) by LLIN type or annual application of indoor residual spraying (IRS).Results 711 health facilities contributed 20 962 facility reports over 30 months. …”
