Spatiotemporal clustering and epidemiological characterization of suicides in Ecuador, 2015–2023
Suicide is an important public health issue worldwide, especially among the young population. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and the spatial and temporal distribution of suicide at the provincial level in Ecuador between 2015 and 2023, using national mortality registries and spatiotemporal clustering methods. Crude rates were calculated by sex, age group, and province, and cluster analysis was applied using the K-…
An intersectionality perspective on tuberculosis
Introduction: The Intersectionality approach to studying tuberculosis (TB) is a complex one. While historical data and indicators consistently suggest a positive correlation between social determinants, such as poverty, and TB mortality, the strength of this association varies across different regions and countries. Overcrowding and population density are also recognized as risk factors for TB transmission. Methods: In this study, we conducted a …
Spatial Modeling of the Potential Distribution of Dengue in the City of Manta, Ecuador
In Ecuador, the transmission of dengue has steadily increased in recent decades, particularly in coastal cities like Manta, where the conditions are favorable for the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The objective of this study was to model the spatial distribution of dengue transmission risk in Manta, a coastal city in Ecuador with consistently high incidence rates. A total of 148 georeferenced dengue cases from 2018 to 2021 were col…
Space–time distribution of intestinal infectious diseases and their association with socioeconomic variables in Ecuador
Background: Intestinal infectious diseases are a global concern in terms of morbidity, and they are closely linked to socioeconomic variables such as quality of life, weather and access to healthcare services. Despite progress in spatial analysis tools and geographic information systems in epidemiology, studies in Ecuador that evaluate temporal trends, specific geographic groups, and their correlation with socioeconomic variables are lacking. The…
The spatio-temporal dynamics of infant mortality in Ecuador from 2010 to 2019
The infant mortality rate (IMR) is still a key indicator in a middle-income country such as Ecuador where a slightly increase up to 11.75 deaths per thousand life births has been observed in 2019. The purpose of this study is to propose and apply a prioritization method that combines clusters detection (Local Indicators of Spatial Association, LISA) and a monotonic statistic depicting time trend over 10 years (Mann-Kendall) at municipal level. An…
