RESUMO
Realizou-se um estudo ecológico com a análise da distribuição espacial dos 979 novos casos de tuberculose entre 2000 e 2005. Utilizou-se o Método Bayesiano Empírico Local para estimação do risco. O Índice de Moram Local foi calculado para avaliação das autocorrelações entre as incidências de bairros limítrofes. Observou-se que a tuberculose distribui-se heterogeneamente entre os bairros, sendo possível identificar regiões com alto risco de adoecimento.
ABSTRACT
We carried out an ecological study in which the spatial distribution of 979 new tuberculosis cases between 2000 and 2005 were analyzed. The risk was estimated using the local empirical Bayesian method. The local indicators of spatial association were calculated to evaluate autocorrelations of incidence between adjoining districts. We found that the tuberculosis cases were heterogeneously distributed between districts, and it was possible to identify regions in which there was a high risk of becoming ill.
