Spatial analysis of risk areas for the development of tuberculosis and treatment outcomes

Abstract: Objectives: to identify risk clusters for the occurrence of tuberculosis and its treatment outcomes. Methods: ecological study, in a city in Maranhão, using data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System. Point density analysis and isotonic scanning techniques were used to identify areas with the highest occurrence of treatment outcomes and identify risk areas for possible tuberculosis cases. Results: most tuberculosis cases occurred in the male, adult, brown-skinned population. Also, most of the repor… Show more

“…Over the years with the evolution of technology, several studies have sought to understand the behavior of tuberculosis in space in Brazil [ 21 24 ], but few studies used temporal [ 25 , 26 ] or Spatio-temporal [ 27 , 28 ] approaches, and the numbers of studies that combined both techniques are even smaller [ 29 , 30 ]. Therefore, we encourage new studies to be carried out using spatial and temporal processes.…”

“…In Brazil, TB has a heterogeneous distribution, where the uneven occurrence of treatment outcomes is often associated with socioeconomic disparities, differences in access and quality of healthcare services, and varying population densities among the country's regions [ 8 11 ].…”
