Spatial Distribution of Tuberculosis in the Western Region of Java Island, Indonesia

Objective: This study aimed to map the spatiotemporal hotspots of tuberculosis (TB) prevalence distribution in Western Region Java Island. Material and Methods: To investigate pattern TB prevalence, we standardized by year, with percentile being clustered natural Jenks breaks optimization. estimate continuous geographical within each district, performed inverse distance weighting (IDW) methods for spatial interpolation. We calculated expected number cases per 1 km2 grid cell aim detecting hotspots. Results: The overall mean newly reported was 73.2 100,000. West province, Banten Jakarta province were 71.7, 69.7 85.8 100,000, respectively. High cells along coast north, low province; except nearby Bandung city where most areas are mountainous, detected. Hotspots area mostly found either or only hotspot detected province. Conclusion: Several observed, not town administration but also lower population density Raster high identified coastal northern area.
