Obviously this relates far more to real time information (transit systems, power/gas systems, aviation, maritime etc) than to data review post-event(s), however this is an area I have more interest in.</p> <p>Cheers all,<br /> Joel </p> http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/seminar-on-innovative-approaches-to-turn-statistics-into-knowledge-15-16-july-2#post-628 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:34:18 +0000 Lars 628@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ <p>Hi, I am impressed by what I see in your site, and I would warmly welcome your active participation in a great event we are organising in Washington DC, see <a href="http://www.oecd.org/progress/ict/statknowledge" rel="nofollow">http://www.oecd.org/progress/ict/statknowledge</a> . I also hope this could be tempting to members of your community. It is a rather big event with some 350 participants.<br /> I would be interested in a proposal for a presentation, and also registrations. I am chairing the organising committee.<br /> Lars </p> http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/best-method-of-visualizing-multiple-comorbidities#post-63 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:07:43 +0000 JulianF 63@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ <p>Hi All,<br /> I would like to do a graphic that would represent the number/percentage of patients with multiple comorbidities (diseases): e.g. patients who have diabetes and heart disease; or diabetes, asthma and heart disease. A patient can have up to 6 co-morbidities.</p> <p>I looked at something like Venn diagrams - where the intersection of 2 circles represents those patients with 2 diseases, and where 3 circles intersect are those with 3 diseases...but after 3 it gets a bit tricky, and the graphic somewhat ugly. </p> <p>My other option is a simple bar chart, but wondering if there are any creative options out there. </p> <p>TIA and Cheers,<br /> Julian F<br /> Australia </p>
