T29 |
0-295 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Next, we assess the overall effectiveness of a screening program by modeling screening outcomes in a hypothetical population of infected travellers, each with a different time since exposure (and hence a different probability of having progressed through incubation to show detectable symptoms). |
T30 |
296-487 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Crucially, the distribution of times since exposure will depend on the epidemiology of the source population, so this overall measure is not a simple average of the individual-level outcomes. |
T31 |
488-608 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We estimate the fraction of infected travellers detected, breaking down the ways in which screening can succeed or fail. |
T32 |
609-880 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An alternate measure of program success is the extent to which screening delays the first importation of cases into the community, possibly providing additional time to train medical staff, deploy public health responders or refine travel policies (Cowling et al., 2010). |
T33 |
881-1089 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To quantify the potential for screening to delay case importation, we estimate the probability that a given screening program would detect the first n or more imported cases before missing an infected person. |
