Spatial Epidemiology of HIV Infection

NCT01377272 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1264

Last updated 2011-07-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Data will be extracted from the National Taiwan University Hospital (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 the aggregation of HIV 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 HIV prevalence and transmission.
