Estimation of the case fatality rate of COVID-19 epidemiological data in Nigeria using statistical regression analysis.

Project description:Following the emergence of COVID-19 outbreak, number of studies have been conducted to curtail the global spread of the virus by identifying epidemiological changes of the disease through developing statistical models, estimation of the basic reproduction number, displaying the daily reports of confirmed and deaths cases, which are closely related to the present study. Reliable and comprehensive estimation method of the epidemiological data is required to understand the actual situation of fatalities caused by the epidemic. Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is one of the cardinal epidemiological parameters that adequately explains epidemiology of the outbreak of a disease. In the present study, we employed two statistical regression models such as the linear and polynomial models in order to estimate the CFR, based on the early phase of COVID-19 outbreak in Nigeria (44?days since first reported COVID-19 death). The estimate of the CFR was determined based on cumulative number of confirmed cases and deaths reported from 23 March to 30 April 2020. The results from the linear model estimated that the CFR was 3.11% (95% CI: 2.59-3.80%) with R 2 value of 90% and p-value of <0.0001. The findings from the polynomial model suggest that the CFR associated with the Nigerian outbreak is 3.0% and may range from 2.23 to 3.42% with R 2 value of 93% and p-value of <0.0001. Therefore, the polynomial regression model with the higher R 2 value fits the dataset well and provides better estimate of CFR for the reported COVID-19 cases in Nigeria.

Modelling seasonality of Lassa fever incidences and vector dynamics in Nigeria.

Project description:Lassa fever (Lf) is a viral haemorrhagic disease endemic to West Africa and is caused by the Lassa mammarenavirus. The rodent Mastomys natalensis serves as the primary reservoir and its ecology and behaviour have been linked to the distinct spatial and temporal patterns in the incidence of Lf. Nigeria has experienced an unprecedented epidemic that lasted from January until April of 2018, which has been followed by subsequent epidemics of Lf in the same period every year since. While previous research has modelled the case seasonality within Nigeria, this did not capture the seasonal variation in the reproduction of the zoonotic reservoir and its effect on case numbers. To this end, we introduce an approximate Bayesian computation scheme to fit our model to the case data from 2018-2020 supplied by the NCDC. In this study we used a periodically forced seasonal nonautonomous system of ordinary differential equations as a vector model to demonstrate that the population dynamics of the rodent reservoir may be responsible for the spikes in the number of observed cases in humans. The results show that in December through to March, spillover from the zoonotic reservoir drastically increases and spreads the virus to the people of Nigeria. Therefore to effectively combat Lf, attention and efforts should be concentrated during this period.

Analysis of selected crime data in Nigeria.

Project description:Crime is an act that brings about offences and it is punishable under the law. Major crimes in Nigeria include rape, kidnapping, murder, burglary, fraud, terrorism, robbery, cyber-crimes, bribery and corruption, money laundering and so on. According to the statistics released by the Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics in 2016, Lagos, Abuja, Delta, Kano, Plateau, Ondo, Oyo, Bauchi, Adamawa and Gombe States made the top ten list of states with high number of crimes. Crime is an important topic and it is of interest to us because of the consequences and penalties it attracts (which ranges from fine to death). This data article contains the partial analysis (both descriptive and inferential) of crime data set obtained between 1999 and 2013. The aim of the study is to show the pattern and rate of crime in Nigeria based on the data collected and to show the relationships that exist among the various crime types. Analyzing this data set can provide insight on crime activities within Nigeria.

Genetic Analysis of a Family with Multiple Incidences of Prostate Cancer.

Project description:A family with multiple members diagnosed with prostate cancer was identified, and genetic variants were analyzed. Three brothers were diagnosed with prostate cancer. Germline variants in BRCA1, BRCA2, TINF2, and CD19 were found through next-generation DNA sequencing using a hereditary cancer panel. The BRCA1 G275D variant was present in patients, but absent in the healthy member. An ELAC2 variant was found in 1 patient. Several mutations were predicted to be deleterious by a set of computation programs. Multiple gene mutations might contribute to the overall predisposition to prostate cancer in the family. Even in cases with potentially deleterious variants in BRCA1 or BRCA2, there could be diverse clinical manifestations.

Breast cancer patients in Nigeria: Data exploration approach.

Project description:Breast cancer is the type of cancer that develops from breast tissue; it is mostly common in women and it is one of the most studied diseases, largely because of its high mortality (second to lung cancer). However, it occurs in males also. This article presents a statistical study of the distribution of age, gender, length of stay, mode of diagnosis, status (dead or alive) after treatment and the location of breast cancer among 300 patients admitted in the University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria. The study covers a period of five (5) years; from 2011 to 2016 and logistic regression was used to perform the basic analysis in this study. It was discovered that the age of patients and the location of the breast cancer (right or left) contributes significantly to the survival of the patients. However, early detection and treatment of the disease is highly encouraged. This study also recommends that awareness should be taken to the grassroots and males should not be excluded from this discussion.

Lung cancer incidences after liver transplantation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundLiver transplantation has made significant progress in recent decades. Lung cancer is one of the most frequently occurring cancers after liver transplantation. However, the risk of lung cancer among liver transplant patients compared with the general population is unclear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the risk of developing lung cancer after liver transplantation.MethodsAll eligible studies published in PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase from database inception to April 2022 were included. Standardized incidence ratio was used to describe the increased risk of lung cancer in liver transplant recipients as compared with the general population. The random-effects model was used for the calculations. A funnel plot and Egger test were performed to assess the potential publication bias.ResultsOur meta-analysis included 15 studies, which involved 76,897 liver transplantation patients. Studies included in this review showed significant heterogeneity (I2 = 65.3%; p < 0.001), which required a random-effects model for effect pooling. The results indicated a significant higher risk of developing lung cancer in liver transplant patients than the general population with a pooled SIR of 2.06 (95% CI: 1.73, 2.46, p < 0.001). When stratified by region, no significant regional difference was observed. It showed a similarly doubled risk of lung cancer in Europe and North America, but an insignificantly increased risk in Asian populations. The sensitivity analysis by removal and substitution of each literature did not change the results.ConclusionOur meta-analysis suggests that liver transplant patients are twice as likely as the general population to develop lung cancer. Further research on risk factors for the development of lung cancer after liver transplantation should be conducted and appropriate surveillance protocols should be developed to reduce the risk of its occurrence.

A statistical model for iTRAQ data analysis.

Project description:We describe biological and experimental factors that induce variability in reporter ion peak areas obtained from iTRAQ experiments. We demonstrate how these factors can be incorporated into a statistical model for use in evaluating differential protein expression and highlight the benefits of using analysis of variance to quantify fold change. We demonstrate the model's utility based on an analysis of iTRAQ data derived from a spike-in study.

Statistical analysis of real-time PCR data.

Project description:BackgroundEven though real-time PCR has been broadly applied in biomedical sciences, data processing procedures for the analysis of quantitative real-time PCR are still lacking; specifically in the realm of appropriate statistical treatment. Confidence interval and statistical significance considerations are not explicit in many of the current data analysis approaches. Based on the standard curve method and other useful data analysis methods, we present and compare four statistical approaches and models for the analysis of real-time PCR data.ResultsIn the first approach, a multiple regression analysis model was developed to derive DeltaDeltaCt from estimation of interaction of gene and treatment effects. In the second approach, an ANCOVA (analysis of covariance) model was proposed, and the DeltaDeltaCt can be derived from analysis of effects of variables. The other two models involve calculation DeltaCt followed by a two group t-test and non-parametric analogous Wilcoxon test. SAS programs were developed for all four models and data output for analysis of a sample set are presented. In addition, a data quality control model was developed and implemented using SAS.ConclusionPractical statistical solutions with SAS programs were developed for real-time PCR data and a sample dataset was analyzed with the SAS programs. The analysis using the various models and programs yielded similar results. Data quality control and analysis procedures presented here provide statistical elements for the estimation of the relative expression of genes using real-time PCR.

Statistical challenges in longitudinal microbiome data analysis.

Project description:The microbiome is a complex and dynamic community of microorganisms that co-exist interdependently within an ecosystem, and interact with its host or environment. Longitudinal studies can capture temporal variation within the microbiome to gain mechanistic insights into microbial systems; however, current statistical methods are limited due to the complex and inherent features of the data. We have identified three analytical objectives in longitudinal microbial studies: (1) differential abundance over time and between sample groups, demographic factors or clinical variables of interest; (2) clustering of microorganisms evolving concomitantly across time and (3) network modelling to identify temporal relationships between microorganisms. This review explores the strengths and limitations of current methods to fulfill these objectives, compares different methods in simulation and case studies for objectives (1) and (2), and highlights opportunities for further methodological developments. R tutorials are provided to reproduce the analyses conducted in this review.
