Spatial Epidemiology of Tuberculosis (TB) Infection

NCT00780546 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1000

Last updated 2008-10-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Data will be extracted from the NTUH medical records database, geocoded according to the street address so that the case number, incidence, etc could be mapped. The spatial data would be used to detect aggregation of TB cases, existence of "hot spots" and then determine if they may merit further investigation or may have occurred by chance. The results from these GIS-based analyses would address local variations in TB incidence and transmission.
