Abstract

Abstract

Using rigorous methods to identify and interpret the consistency and periodicity of multi-source COVID-19 epidemic data is the basis of properly interpreting the epidemic characteristics of the COVID-19 epidemic and developing prevention and control measures. By conducting a systematic review, we found that: (1) the existing literature on consistency studies mainly focused on global COVID-19 epidemic data released by the WHO and Johns Hopkins University, revealing inconsistent across various aspects of data collection, statistical indicators, data sharing, as well as the value of the same indicators; (2) each kind COVID-19 epidemic data had typical periodicity. Existing studies about periodicity of COVID-19 epidemic data were primarily from developed countries. The length of epidemic periodicity varied greatly across countries and regions, with a varying periodicity of 3.5 days, 5.0 days, 7.0 days, and 62.0 days. Researchers linked the periodicity of COVID-19 epidemic to multiple factors, including sample testing, data reporting, biological, social, and environmental factors. To summarize, there were no studies that quantified the consistency across major COVID-19 data sources, examined differences in data consistency over time and across countries, and explored the periodicity variations of COVID-19 epidemic across countries around the world currently.
