An analysis of coronavirus disease 2019 with spline regression at province level during first-level response to major public health emergency out of Hubei, China.

Abstract:

:This study aims to locate the knots of cumulative coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case number during the first-level response to public health emergency in the provinces of China except Hubei. The provinces were grouped into three regions, namely eastern, central and western provinces, and the trends between adjacent knots were compared among the three regions. COVID-19 case number, migration scale index, Baidu index, demographic, economic and public health resource data were collected from 22 Chinese provinces from 19 January 2020 to 12 March 2020. Spline regression was applied to the data of all included, eastern, central and western provinces. The research period was divided into three stages by two knots. The first stage (from 19 January to around 25 January) was similar among three regions. However, in the second stage, growth of COVID-19 case number was flatter and lasted longer in western provinces (from 25 January to 18 February) than in eastern and central provinces (from 26 February to around 11 February). In the third stage, the growth of COVID-19 case number slowed down in all the three regions. Included covariates were different among the three regions. Overall, spline regression with covariates showed the different change patterns in eastern, central and western provinces, which provided a better insight into regional characteristics of COVID-19 pandemic.
