Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In a time where Clinical Epidemiology & Public Health are seeing critical developments, our understanding of diseases, prevention, and clinical care is expanding. This Review Special Issue Series: "Recent Advances in Clinical Epidemiology & Public Health" is committed to presenting an exclusive collection of comprehensive reviews. This Special Issue will primarily focus on clinical aspects, accepting only submissions pertaining to clinical Epidemiology and Public Health.

The Special Issue will concentrate on important advancements in infectious and chronic disease epidemiology that directly pertain to clinical practice. It will explore new methodologies, surveillance techniques, and preventive strategies that have clinical applications. Specific areas of interest include:

- Disease Prevention: Understanding and implementing measures for the prevention of various diseases.

- Epidemiology of Chronic or Acute Diseases: Exploration of the occurrence, distribution, and control of chronic and acute diseases in clinical settings.

- Hospital Infection Control: Examination of strategies and best practices to prevent and control infections within hospital environments.

- Etiology and Risk Factors of Diseases: Analysis of the cause and factors contributing to diseases to inform clinical intervention and prevention.

- Hospital Mortality: Investigation of mortality rates and related factors within hospital settings.

- Application of Artificial Intelligence to Clinical Epidemiology and Public Health: Utilization of AI technologies in enhancing clinical epidemiology research and public health initiatives.

- Clinical Aspects of Aging: Exploration of aging processes, age-related diseases, and preventive interventions within clinical contexts.

- Clinical Insights into Women's Health: Specific examination of health concerns related to women, including reproductive epidemiology, maternal health, and gender-specific clinical care.

- Clinical Nutrition Insights: Examination of dietary patterns and the impact of nutrition on clinical health and well-being.

- Physical Activity in Clinical Practice: Investigation of the role of physical activity in disease prevention, mental health, and well-being within clinical settings.

By focusing exclusively on clinical aspects, this Special Issue aims to provide a nuanced insight into the complexities and dynamics of Clinical Epidemiology & Public Health. We aim to promote dialogue, collaboration, and innovation among clinicians, researchers, and policymakers through critical examination and thoughtful synthesis.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: Influenza-like illness (ILI) encompasses symptoms similar to influenza, affecting population health. Surveillance, including Google Trends (GT), offers insights into epidemic patterns. Methods: This study used multiple regression models to analyze the correlation between ILI incidents, GT keyword searches, and climate variables during influenza outbreaks. It compared the predictive capabilities of time-series and deep learning models against ILI emergency incidents. Results: The GT searches for “fever” and “cough” were significantly associated with ILI cases (p < 0.05). Temperature had a more substantial impact on ILI incidence than humidity. Among the tested models, ARIMA provided the best predictive power. Conclusions: GT and climate data can forecast ILI trends, aiding governmental decision making. Temperature is a crucial predictor, and ARIMA models excel in forecasting ILI incidences. Full article
