摘要

使用日本所有47个都道府县的每周流感病例数据以及日本职业棒球（NPB）联盟1999年至2018年的数据，我们研究了举办比赛对当地流感传播的影响。研究结果强调，在流感季节，每一场在主场棒球场举行的NPB比赛，从那一周到下一周，每个哨点医疗机构（SMI）的病例平均增加0.18例。对于不同的规格和安慰剂测试，效果是稳健的。这意味着在NPB和流感季节重叠期间，病例数量增加了约0.1%。

Mass Gathering Sport Events and the Spread of Viral Respiratory Infection: Japanese Professional Baseball and Influenza

Using weekly-level influenza case data from all 47 prefectures in Japan alongside data from Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) league from 1999 to 2018, we examine the effect of hosting games on local influenza transmission. The results highlight that during the flu season, for every NPB game held at its home ballpark, there is an average increase of 0.18 cases per sentinel medical institution (SMI) between that week and the following week. The effects are robust to different specifications and placebo tests. This translates to about a 0.1% increase in the number of cases during the overlap of NPB and flu seasons.
