Implication

Multilevel analysis reveals significant effects of national interventions on disease detection in Kenya, suggesting improvements in surveillance efficiency.

Key Points

Evaluate the efficiency of public health surveillance systems in Kenya using multilevel regression analysis.
Employ a multilevel logistic regression model to analyze surveillance data.
Account for hierarchical structures in the data from Kenyan surveillance systems.
Examine the impact of national and sub-national interventions on disease detection.
National-level interventions significantly improve disease detection (OR = 1.52; CI: 1.30-1.78).
Sub-national levels demonstrate variable contributions depending on disease and region.
Multilevel regression analysis aids in understanding efficiency gains in surveillance systems.
