The incubation period distribution of campylobacteriosis is currently unknown with several sources reporting different times. Variation in the distribution could be expected due to host, transmission vehicle, and organism characteristics, however, the extent of this variation and influencing factors are unclear. The authors have undertaken a systematic review of published literature of outbreak studies with well-defined point source exposures and human experimental studies to estimate the distribution of incubation period and also identify and explain the variation in the distribution between studies. We tested for heterogeneity using <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> and Kolmogorov\u2013Smirnov tests, regressed incubation period against possible explanatory factors, and used hierarchical clustering analysis to define subgroups of studies without evidence of heterogeneity. The mean incubation period of subgroups ranged from 2\u00b75 to 4\u00b73 days. We observed variation in the distribution of incubation period between studies that was not due to chance. A significant association between the mean incubation period and age distribution was observed with outbreaks involving only children reporting an incubation of 1\u00b729 days longer when compared with outbreaks involving other age groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268817001303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,2]],"date-time":"2017-07-02T21:48:27Z","timestamp":1499032107000},"page":"2241-2253","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["A systematic review and meta-analysis on the incubation period of Campylobacteriosis"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"145","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8535-5422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"AWOFISAYO-OKUYELU","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"HALL","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"ADAK","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.I.","family":"HAWKER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"ABBOTT","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"McCARTHY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268817001303_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268800059112"},{"key":"S0950268817001303_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268898001174"},{"key":"S0950268817001303_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1742-7622-4-2"},{"key":"S0950268817001303_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2903\/j.efsa.2009.223r"},{"key":"S0950268817001303_ref21","first-page":"17","article-title":"Incubation period for campylobacteriosis and its importance in the estimation of incidence related to travel","volume":"18","author":"Horn","year":"2013","journal-title":"Euro Surveillance: European Communicable Disease Bulletin"},{"key":"S0950268817001303_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.2011.238386"},{"key":"S0950268817001303_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/513780"},{"key":"S0950268817001303_ref22","unstructured":"WebPlotDigitizer \u2013 Copyright 2010\u20132016 Ankit Rohatgi (http:\/\/arohatgi.info\/WebPlotDigitizer\/app\/).
