Space conglomerates of mortality due to cancer, ischemic heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease in Santiago de Cuba province
Keywords:
cancer, ischemic heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, space conglomerates.Abstract
Introduction: One of the aspects that more interest raises regarding the geographical distribution of mortality due to cancer is the formation of space conglomerates.
Objective: To identify the space pattern of mortality due to cancer, ischemic heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease by means of the detection and description of space conglomerates in Santiago de Cuba province.
Methods: A space exploratory ecological study of deaths due to cancer, ischemic heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease was carried out during January 1st to December 31, 2019 in Santiago de Cuba province, for which space conglomerates of high and low mortality due to the abovementioned causes were detected. The statistical space escanning method was used with the Satscan program and the independent variables were divided in demographic and clinical.
Results: Of the 36 space conglomerates of mortality detected, twenty three corresponded to cancer (65.8%), seven to ischemic heart disease (18.4%) and six to ischemic cerebrovascular disease (15.8%); also, 44.7% of the total was of high risk and 55.3% of low risk.
Conclusions: The space distribution pattern of mortality due to prostate, lung, breast, colon, esophagus cancer, ischemic heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease was characterized by the formation of high and low mortality space conglomerates.Downloads
