Space-time scan statistics of 2007-2013 dengue incidence in Cimahi city, Indonesia

Abstract: Dengue fever threatens more than 200 million people in Indonesia. The disease has spread to over 400 of Indonesia's 497 districts, 26 of which have been declared hyper-endemic. These districts are all situated in West Java, the most densely populated province in the country. A study was conducted to detect clusters of dengue incidence during 2007-2013 in Cimahi City, which is situated in the Bandung metropolitan area in West Java. A temporal-spatial analysis based on population data from the local Bureau of St… Show more

“…Our research and other Southeast Asian studies carried out by Ling et al (2014) in Malaysia and Dhewantara et al (2015) in Indonesia confirm that dengue cases tend to cluster showing both a spatial and a temporal epidemiological component. The findings referred to highlight the importance of detailed geographical analysis of disease cases in heterogeneous environments with a focus on clustered populations at different spatial and temporal scales.…”

“…Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and cluster detection methods–both, purely spatial as well as in time and space have proven useful to locate possible outbreaks of infectious diseases [3335], including pertussis [30], resulting in a timely and effective response in affected areas. Such an approach might ultimately help to minimize the spread of pertussis at an early stage when the risk of transmission is highest [36].…”

“…Spatial and temporal windows are two major parameters when specifying space–time scan statistics for DF cluster detection [7, 1315]. The calibration of parameters depends on the complicated interaction between vectors and human beings and therefore requires a process of trial and error.…”

“…Scan statistics have proven to be useful in detecting spatiotemporal clusters of diseases [57]. Although prospective scan statistics have been applied in detecting ongoing transmission of malaria [8], shigellosis [9, 10], and Campylobacter [5], what health workers might be interested in is the ability to relate existing hot spots to future infection [8, 11].…”
