Declarations
:
: The authors have no competing interests or other interests that might be perceived to influence the results and/or discussion reported in this paper.
: The use of the data from this study has been approved by the Ethical Committee of the Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla, Madrid, Spain. Data were anonymised prior to use.
: In our analysis, we rely on the limitations of the data source. On the one hand, we only have data from a single hospital with particular characteristics, i.e., the hospital provides medical care to military and civilian population in Madrid, a large city with many hospitals. On the other hand, our dataset contains only three years of ED records, so the presence of larger seasonalities, e.g., yearly, cannot be properly evaluated in our algorithms.
