Spatiotemporal Analysis of Infant Measles Using Population Attributable Risk in Shandong Province, 1999–2008

Abstract

There were significant space-time clusters of infant measles in Shandong over the study period. PAR% is an effective way to analyze multiple clusters from their application like RR. Interrupting measles circulation and maintaining routine coverage over 95% may be the only effective strategy to achieve measles elimination.
