Analysis of intra annual spatial dynamics of community-aсquired pneumonia incidence in the urban environment

Background. The spread of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children and adults is interconnected conditioned by natural, climatic social factors. aim. To assess the relationship between incidences CAP different seasons year with location educational institutions urban settlement. Materials methods. A cross-sectional study spatial distribution seasonal dynamics cases 2015 a Siberian city population more than 600 thousand people was carried out. Using GIS, 787 were analyzed among preschool school age adults. For statistical processing, 111 territorial units (ATUs) an area 250 m2 each allocated on maps. morbidity assessed weeks groups. Results. There direct moderate correlation number registered during schools ATU (r = 0.59; p < 0.001). ATUs presence absence differed epidemic foci total winter spring. maximum second half (weeks 3–13), minimum – summer months 25–34). Conclusions. GIS analysis confirms frequent registration diseases areas institutions. established incidence year. Statistically significant differences without noted higher (autumn winter).
