Technology-Based HIV Prevention Interventions for Men Who Have Sex With Men: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Technology-Based HIV Prevention Interventions for Men Who Have Sex With Men: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Therefore, we conducted a Bayesian meta-analysis instead of the conventional frequentist meta-analysis to improve the precision of the pooled effect size estimation and to provide the probability of the intervention effect being >0 [22-24]. The protocol for this review was registered in PROSPERO (registration number CRD42021270856).

Traumatic Brain Injury Intensive Evaluation and Treatment Program: Protocol for a Partnered Evaluation Initiative Mixed Methods Study

Traumatic Brain Injury Intensive Evaluation and Treatment Program: Protocol for a Partnered Evaluation Initiative Mixed Methods Study

We will use Bayesian network analysis to generate a directed acyclic graph, which probabilistically describes the trajectory of symptoms, care, and outcomes for IETP participants. This network will enable us to explore the contribution of the baseline phenotype to the decision to use a particular treatment course and the contribution of those treatments to the participants’ resulting outcome measures [53].

Small Area Forecasting of Opioid-Related Mortality: Bayesian Spatiotemporal Dynamic Modeling Approach

Small Area Forecasting of Opioid-Related Mortality: Bayesian Spatiotemporal Dynamic Modeling Approach

Bayesian spatiotemporal models have received substantial attention in the past several years in opioid-related research, given their ability to include temporal and spatial correlations and improved precision in small area estimation [20-22]. Sumetsky et al [20] for instance, developed a Bayesian logistic growth model for opioid overdose mortality predictions for 146 counties in North and South Carolina.

Age- and Sex-Specific Association Between Vegetation Cover and Mental Health Disorders: Bayesian Spatial Study

Age- and Sex-Specific Association Between Vegetation Cover and Mental Health Disorders: Bayesian Spatial Study

The age- and sex-stratified associations between vegetation and mental health disorders were analyzed using the Bayesian spatial hierarchical modeling technique. In the Bayesian spatial hierarchical models, the observed counts, Oi, of the combined mental health disorder in each neighborhood i (where i=1,2,…140) were assumed to follow a Poisson distribution (Oi ~ Poisson(λi)). Here, λi denotes the expected number of mental health disorder cases in the neighborhood i.

Unbalanced Risk of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in China at the Subnational Scale: Spatiotemporal Analysis

Unbalanced Risk of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in China at the Subnational Scale: Spatiotemporal Analysis

A Bayesian spatiotemporal model was built to analyze spatiotemporal patterns of PTB notification rates from 2009 to 2018. The spatiotemporal process of the PTB notification rate was decomposed into three components: the spatial random effect, overall time trend, and spatiotemporal interaction effect [13-15]. A Poisson regression model connected by a logarithmic function was used to model the process based on count data [16,17].

Estimating COVID-19 Hospitalizations in the United States With Surveillance Data Using a Bayesian Hierarchical Model: Modeling Study

Estimating COVID-19 Hospitalizations in the United States With Surveillance Data Using a Bayesian Hierarchical Model: Modeling Study

We adapted a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate and extrapolate hospitalization rates, accounting for uncertainty and variability between states and across time. We used COVID-19 hospitalization data from COVID-NET. The network identifies hospitalized patients with a positive SARS-Co V-2 test, including molecular assay and antigen detection, during hospitalization or within 14 days prior to hospitalization [9].

Six-Month Outcomes from the NEXit Junior Trial of a Text Messaging Smoking Cessation Intervention for High School Students: Randomized Controlled Trial With Bayesian Analysis

Six-Month Outcomes from the NEXit Junior Trial of a Text Messaging Smoking Cessation Intervention for High School Students: Randomized Controlled Trial With Bayesian Analysis

In addition to the prespecified analyses, unplanned Bayesian analyses were performed. The higher than anticipated attrition rate underpowered the planned null hypothesis tests, and the Bayesian analyses were included to calculate the probability that the intervention had an effect on smoking outcomes.

Understanding Uptake of Digital Health Products: Methodology Tutorial for a Discrete Choice Experiment Using the Bayesian Efficient Design

Understanding Uptake of Digital Health Products: Methodology Tutorial for a Discrete Choice Experiment Using the Bayesian Efficient Design

Db-efficient design (b stands for Bayesian): A Bayesian approach is whereby the parameter is not known with certainty but may be described by its probability distribution. The best practice is to pilot the DCE. For the pilot phase, there is limited information available and using the Dz-efficient or Dp-efficient design is sensible.

Census Tract Patterns and Contextual Social Determinants of Health Associated With COVID-19 in a Hispanic Population From South Texas: A Spatiotemporal Perspective

Census Tract Patterns and Contextual Social Determinants of Health Associated With COVID-19 in a Hispanic Population From South Texas: A Spatiotemporal Perspective

We considered the following Bayesian spatiotemporal model [18,19]. Let Yit denote the number of confirmed cases from census tract i and week t; we assumed a negative binomial distribution with incidence risk μit (ie, Yit|μit ~ NB(Niμit), with Nit the population size as the offset.

Computing SARS-CoV-2 Infection Risk From Symptoms, Imaging, and Test Data: Diagnostic Model Development

Computing SARS-CoV-2 Infection Risk From Symptoms, Imaging, and Test Data: Diagnostic Model Development

Prior research has demonstrated the potential utility of Bayesian inference [8,9] and machine learning [10,11] methods in diagnostic decision making, but computational clinical decision support has often been underutilized due to a lack of accessibility, transparency, workflow integration, and most importantly, the flexibility to incorporate local provider beliefs into the diagnostic model [12,13].
