Description

Policy, practice, and prediction: model-based approaches to evaluating N. gonorrhoeae antibiotic susceptibility test uptake in Australia.

Arguments

Value

An object of class bn.fit. Refer to the documentation of bnlearn for details.

Format

A discrete Bayesian network to simulate the clinician-patient dynamics influencing antibiotic susceptibility test initiation. The probabilities were given within the referenced paper. The vertices are:

ClinicianExperience

(Experienced, Unexperienced);

EpidemiologicalFactors

(High risk group, Low risk group);

InitialTreatmentFailure

(Treatment success, Treatment failure);

MedicationAdherence

(Proper Adherence, Improper Adherence);

NumberPartners

(One, Two to five, More than six);

PastDiagnoses

(One, Two to four, five to nine, More than ten);

PersistingSymptoms
