  • Potential Biases of the Transmission Risks of COVID-19 estimated by Contact Tracing Surveys in Japan

    Scientific journal, Introduction: Contact tracing surveys are being conducted to identify and isolate close contacts of an identified patient to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, the estimates of risk indexes based on information obtained from the surveys and normally used in practice can have biases comparing with true magnitude of risks of infection and spread.Method: We evaluated whether the estimates of the risk indexes obtained from information of the active epidemiological surveillance, contact tracing surveys in Japan, are suitable for quantitative assessment of the risk factors of COVID-19, using pseudo data via a simulation study. We discussed two types of risks considered in the issue of infectious disease, the probability of infection and that of spreading, and the estimates of these risks.Results and Discussion: A naive method to estimate the risks of infection and spreading of COVID-19 is to calculate the ratio of infected patients to close contacts and the ratio of patients who infected others to all the confirmed patients, respectively. However, these estimates could possibly have significant biases and result in being ineffective for both the exploration and the quantitative assessment of the risk factors in the following ordinary cases: a person contacts closely with many confirmed patients, or a confirmed patient contact closely with many people. Then, some steps are needed to reduce such possible biases for the estimation the risks of both the infection and spreading of COVID-19.

    Multivariate small are estimation problem, especially the Fay-Herriot model in which we only obtain aggregated data for each area is considered in the setting where the ratio of the square of the dimension of the observed vectors and the number of areas converges to a constant. The convergence rates of the estimators of the parameters in the model are shown, noting that the dimensions of these parameters also increase in this setting. Small area mean vectors are predicted by the empirical best linear unbiased predictors, which can be obtained by substituting the estimators of the parameters into its bayes estimator. As its prediction risks, the mean squared error matrix and the confidence interval are constructed such that the approximation errors are of second order regarding the number of areas. It is shown that the additional terms appear in both compared with the results obtained when the dimension of the observed vectors is fixed.
