| Summary: | Research objective. To estimate a geographical variation of the indicator of the incidence of atopic dermatitis
among the child population of the Grodno region.
Material and methods. The data of the official statistical reports of the Grodno Regional Department of Statistics,
the annual report forms «Form 1 – children» of the medical statistics office of the Regional Children’s Clinical
Hospital for the period of 1999-2016 years were analyzed. Territorial differentiation of the indicator of disease
incidence was carried out by the method of cluster analysis (k-means clustering).
Results. The geographical characteristic of the indicator of the incidence of atopic dermatitis among the child
population of the Grodno region aged 0–14 years during 1999-2016 years has been given. Low, below the average,
above the average, average and high values of the indicator of atopic dermatitis incidence have been established. The
cartogram of territorial distribution of the indicator of atopic dermatitis incidence among the child population has
been made.
Conclusion. The established features, various intensity of the degree of a geographical variation of the indicator
of atopic dermatitis incidence reflect the influence of a set of various factors determining an indicator of diseases
incidence in various territories of the region and confirm the need to analyze the cause-and-effect relationships in the
system «medium-indicator of atopic dermatitis incidence among the child population». |
