Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the accuracy of seasonal difference auto regressive moving average (SARIMA) model in predicting the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Methods: From January 2010 to December 2021, PTB incidence data of Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province collected through “Infectious Disease Reporting System” which was a subsystem of the “Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System”. SARIMA models based on monthly incidence rate and case number were established using data from January 2010 to December 2020 while the validation of the model used data from January to December 2021. Prediction effect of the two models were evaluated by two indexes, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and the relative root mean square error percentage (RMSEP). Results: The best model of SARIMA were (0,0,1)(0,1,1)12 for the case number and (0,0,1)(1,1,1)12 for the incidence. The actual reported case number in September 2021 was above the upper limit of 95% confidence interval of the model prediction with a difference of 28.571%. The reported case number of other months were all within the predicted 95% confidence interval (109 cases). All monthly reported incidences were within the predicted 95%CI range. The maximum difference between the predicted incidence and the actual incidence was 8.665%. Counting annual cumulative case number and incidence in 2021, the differences between the predicted value and the true value of the case number model and the incidence model were 4.866% and 2.483%, respectively. MAPE of the case number model was 9.925%, and RMSEP was 14.167%. MAPE of the incidence model was 3.798%, and RMSEP was 4.463%, both were smaller than those of the case number SARIMA model. Conclusion: The SARIMA model based on the monthly reported PTB incidence and case number in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020 had a good fitting effect. The predictive effect of SARIMA model of the incidence was better than that of the case number model.
