ESTIMATING THE INCIDENCE OF SARS-COV-2 INFECTIONS IN 2020 IN BELGIUM BY JOINTLY MODELLING SEROPREVALENCE, HOSPITALIZATION AND MORTALITY DATA

2025-07-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>BACKGROUND</h4> The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections was not directly observed during the pandemic. We estimated incidences and the associated burden, through the infection fatality rate (IFR) and infection hospitalization rate (IHR), by jointly modeling seroprevalence, hospitalization, and mortality data. <h4>METHODS</h4> We used a hierarchical Bayesian model to fit a spline, representing incidence, to th...
