Dataset and code to reproduce analysis on the impact of indoor residual spraying (IRS) on malaria at Illovo Nchalo, Malawi

<p><strong>V3 edit:&nbsp;</strong>The latest R file contains extra lines of code to produce prediction intervals.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>The repository contains:</strong></p> <p>- Excel sheets for each round of indoor residual spraying from 2014 - 2018 for villages based on the Illovo Nchalo Estate (provided by public health officer)</p> <p>- Weather data for 1999 - 2019 downloaded from Sasri Weather web for Malawi - Illovo Nchalo (Open access after signing up)</p> <p>- Explanation of variables downloaded from Sasri Weather Web</p> <p>- Expected population: number of residents living in Illovo clinic's catchment areas based on 2016 and 2019 census. Linear interpolation for the other years</p> <p>- Malaria data per month per clinic from the public health officer's records at Illovo Nchalo for 7 clinics for 2014 - 2018</p> <p>- Malaria data downloaded and selected from DHIS2 (access upon request and approval)</p> <p>- R file to reproduce figures, tables, and results for the paper under submission for PLOS GPH</p> <p>- Geopackages of data that is not open-source already to reproduce the map in figure 1</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Description of IRS data:</strong></p> <p>- Village: Name of the villages based at Illovo being targeted for IRS</p> <p>- Target_spray: Number of structures within the village targeted for spraying</p> <p>- Sprayed: Number of structures actually sprayed</p> <p>- Date_start: Start date of the IRS campaign in a village</p> <p>- Date_end: End date of the IRS campaign in that village</p> <p>- Coverage_p: Percentage of structures sprayed calculated from "target_spray" and "sprayed"</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Notes on reconciling the different years of IRS:</strong></p> <p>1. Post office and D. compound have been added to Nkombedzi</p> <p>2. B compound has been added to Riverside/Mess</p> <p>3. The following villages attend the following clinics</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>The following villages attend the assigned clinics:</strong><br>- Mess and Bonksville -&gt; Factory<br>- Mlambe and Paxman -&gt; Mangulenje<br>- Sande Ranch -&gt; Lengwe<br>- Mechanical Pool -&gt; Mwanza</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Description of the malaria data:</strong></p> <p>- Date, month, year</p> <p>- Time_dummy: 1 to 48, over the study period</p> <p>- Village: The name of the village the clinic is based in. In further analyses, this is referred to as "clinic" instead to avoid confusion.</p> <p>- Total_cases: total number of cases testing positive for malaria by RDT, or in a very small percentage of cases microscopy (only used when RDT gives inconclusive or conflicting results, or when symptoms persist with negative RDT). Cases_on + cases_off = total_cases</p> <p>- Cases_on: Number of malaria cases from residents of villages located within the boundaries of the Illovo estate</p> <p>- Cases_off: Number of malaria cases from residents of villages located (just) outside the boundaries of the Illovo estate</p> <p>- Total_patients: Total number of patients attending the clinic that month</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>From the selected control clinics only "WHO NMCP P Confirmed malaria cases" was used to indicate the number of malaria cases and "CMED Total Population" to indicate the clinic catchment population.
