Spatial epidemiology of blastomycosis hospitalizations: detecting clusters and identifying environmental risk factors.
Blastomycosis is a disease caused by endemic fungi that ranges from severe pulmonary or disseminated to mild or asymptomatic. Environmental factors associated with it are not well described throughout the endemic area. We used the intramural State Inpatient Database from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and ArcMap GIS to identify geographic high-risk clusters of blastomycosis hosp...
متن کاملEnvironmental risk factors for Pneumocystis pneumonia hospitalizations in HIV patients.
BACKGROUND Pneumocystis pneumonia (PcP) is the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in the United States. Although the host risk factors for the development of PcP are well established, the environmental (climatological, air pollution) risk factors are poorly understood. The major goal of this study was to determine the environm...

هنگامی حاملگی پرخطر در نظر گرفته می شود که احتمال سرانجام بد برای مادر و نوزاد نسبت به زنان حامله عادی بیشتر باشد. اکثر حاملگی ها براساس این تعریف پرخطر نمی باشند.
متن کاملDetecting Significant Multidimensional Spatial Clusters
Assume a uniform, multidimensional grid of bivariate data, where each cell of the grid has a count ci and a baseline bi. Our goal is to find spatial regions (d-dimensional rectangles) where the ci are significantly higher than expected given bi. We focus on two applications: detection of clusters of disease cases from epidemiological data (emergency department visits, over-the-counter drug sale...
متن کاملIdentifying Non-hierarchical Spatial Clusters
Investigating relationships in information is an important component of statistical and spatial analysis. Clustering techniques have proven to be effective in helping to find patterns or relationships which otherwise may not have been detected. One of the most popular partitioning based clustering approaches is k-means. In this paper we explore the application of the k-means approach to spatial...
