Other Infectious Diarrhea Incidence in China Linked to ENSO, 2005–2019

Keer Ou's analysis examines the impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on infectious diarrhea in China. It contains monthly incidence and climatic data for 31 provinces from 2005 to 2019, totaling 13,620,167 reported cases. The dataset was last updated on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the periodicity between ENSO cycles and disease incidence based on wavelet analysis results
• Model the exposure-response relationship between climate indices and diarrhea rates based on generalized additive models
• Identify causal pathways linking ENSO to disease via precipitation based on PCMCI algorithm findings
• Compare regional disease patterns across China based on reported highest incidence in southern and eastern regions

Strengths

• Contains 13,620,167 reported cases, providing a substantial observational basis
• Covers a 15-year time range (2005–2019) across all 31 mainland Chinese provinces
• Integrates both disease incidence and climatic data, enabling multivariate analysis

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The primary data file is a DOCX document (9.3 MB), which may require extraction of underlying data tables
