dc.descriptionThis retrospective cross-sectional routine data was analyzed for monthly malaria case incidence and environmental data were collected from Amhara Public Health Institute, NASA, CHIRPS, and World Global Climate Databases. We have employed advanced statistical models such as parametric and nonparametric spatiotemporal trend models, Bayesian generalized Poisson model, Kulldorff’s retrospective space-time scan statistic, spatiotemporal generalized additive models, classification and regression training for spatiotemporal data (CAST), and Bayesian spatiotemporal predictive models.

local.criteria.exclusionAggregating the specialized hospital cases and the town district cases, where are the higher hospitals located, might overestimate monthly malaria cases in the corresponding district. Hence, monthly malaria cases reported from the referral and specialized hospitals were excluded to improve the effects of over-estimation in malaria cases and incidence trends.
local.criteria.inclusionThe districts encompass various healthcare institutions such as health posts, health centers, primary hospitals, general, referral, and specialized hospitals. Some town districts have general, referral, and specialized hospitals where patients may come from other districts for treatment, either by referral letters or not, that have their own weekly malaria surveillance report to the APHI.
