“…Between 1970 and 2010, Puerto Madryn multiplied its population by 13, from 6100 to almost 80 000 inhabitants, due to the development of fishing, construction, tourism and the expansion of the only aluminum factory in Argentina (Sassone et al, 2011). This dramatic population growth has changed the demographic structure and generated several collateral problems, such as urban poverty concentration and uneven restructuring of public services, among other socioeconomic and environmental aspects (Kaminker, 2015(Kaminker, , 2020. This process has many dimensions and implications, including the increase in overcrowding.…”

“…This process has many dimensions and implications, including the increase in overcrowding. Previous demographic analyses (Kaminker, 2016, 2020) have shown that Puerto Madryn's residential expansion practice, called accelerated urbanization, has structurally segregated low‐income households. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses, based on information collected in 2010, 9.42% of the total population of Puerto Madryn lived in households with one or more UBN (INDEC, 2015).…”

ObjectivesTo describe the frequency of hospitalizations of infants under 1 year of age with bronchiolitis in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, and to study the spatial distribution of cases throughout the city in relation to socioeconomic indicators. To visualize and better understand the underlying processes behind the local manifestation of the disease by creating a vulnerability map of the city.MethodsWe performed a cross‐sectional study of all patients discharged for bronchiolitis from the local public Hospital in 2017, considering length of hospital stay, readmission rate, patient age, home address and socioeconomic indicators (household overcrowding). To understand the local spatial distribution of the disease and its relationship to overcrowding, we used GIS and Moran's global and local spatial autocorrelation indices.ResultsThe spatial distribution of bronchiolitis cases was not random, but significantly aggregated. Of the 120 hospitalized children, 100 infants (83.33%) live in areas identified as having at least one unsatisfied basic need (UBN). We found a positive and statistically significant relationship between frequency of cases and percentage of overcrowded housing by census radius.ConclusionsA clear association was found between bronchiolitis and neighborhoods with UBNs, and overcrowding is likely to be a particularly important explanatory factor in this association. By combining GIS tools, spatial statistics, geo‐referenced epidemiological data, and population‐level information, vulnerability maps can be created to facilitate visualization of priority areas for development and implementation of more effective health interventions. Incorporating the spatial and syndemic perspective into health studies makes important contributions to the understanding of local health‐disease processes.
