Abstract

The interrupted time series data plays a very important role in the evaluation of public health interventions and also to improve hospital antibiotic prescribing. We take the data from a study on the effects of the Italian smoking ban in public places on hospital admissions for Acute Coronary Events (ACEs). In January 2005, Italy introduced regulations to ban smoking in all indoor public places, which the aim of limiting adverse health affects of second hand smoke. The data used here are ACEs in the Sicily region between 2002 and 2006 among those aged 0-69 years. In this paper, we use three models for interrupted time series data. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) measure is used for selecting the best model. Three models are empirically tested using interrupted time series smoke ban data in the Sicily region, Italy.

Key-Words / Index Term
