Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article conducts a retrospective epidemiological analysis of long-term and annual dynamics of theincidence of measles of the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period 1993-2015 years.The "average annual rate of decline/increase" and predicted (theoretical) incidence of measles in 2016 arecalculated. The prediction method that was based on finding analytical expressions of the trend todetermine the level of incidence of measles for the next year is used. Analysis of monthly incidence ofmeasles identified winter-spring seasonality. The increasing of incidence was observed from mid Januaryto April. Analysis of cases of the measles on the territory, cases at 2-week intervals in 2015was made.The average lengths of hospital stay of patients.
