How can we predict the number of future COVID-19 hospital admissions?

Research led by Sophie Meakin of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in the United Kingdom suggests ensemble forecasts — a method combining multiple models to predict COVID-19 cases — may be more accurate in estimating COVID-19 hospital admissions in local areas.

New guidelines to standardize reporting of epidemic prediction research

An international panel has designed new guidelines to standardize how scientists report research that involves forecasting and prediction of how epidemics of infectious diseases unfold. Simon Pollett of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Maryland, United States, and colleagues present the guidelines, called EPIFORGE, in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine on October 19th.

New risk measure can better predict pandemic spread than other models

COVID-19 is not the flu. The disease caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus is more transmissible, and deadlier, than most influenza epidemics we've encountered in our lifetimes, and scientists and physicians are still learning new things about the disease and its long-term effects.

New modeling highlights the role of socio-economic status in Covid-19 transmission in Kenya

Combining data on antibody prevalence, PCR test results, genomic surveillance and population mobility from smartphones has allowed infectious disease modelers to explain the evolution of the first three Covid-19 waves that have affected Kenya since the start of the pandemic.

Machine learning predicts hospital-onset COVID-19 infections using patient contact networks

Researchers from the UK recently developed a real-time machine learning framework that uses dynamic patient contact networks to predict hospital-onset COVID-19 infections (HOCIs) at the patient level. They then tested and validated the framework on international multi-site datasets across various epidemic and endemic periods. This study can be found on the medRxiv* preprint server.
