Time series modelling for wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19: A nationwide study in 40 wastewater treatment plants of Belgium, February 2021 to June 2022
(2023) Keywords: ARIMA COVID-19 Flow rate PMMoV wastewater surveillance Abstract: Background: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been implemented to monitor surges of COVID-19. Yet, multiple factors ...
Certainty of the Global Burden of Disease 2019 modelled prevalence estimates for musculoskeletal conditions: A meta-epidemiological study
using the GBD Data Input Sources Tool and their risk of bias was assessed using a validated tool. We rated the certainty of modelled prevalence estimates based on the GRADE Guidelines 30-the GRADE ...
