Abstract
Este estudo estimou áreas de risco de hepatite A e de variáveis associadas em região de Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Foi realizado um inquérito soroepidemiológico para hepatite A e domiciliar em 19 setores censitários. Destes, foram selecionados 11 setores contíguos com diferentes cotas altimétricas e todas as 1.298 crianças com idade menor que dez anos foram incluídas no estudo. Construiu-se semivariogramas para a hepatite A, não uso de filtro, número de pontos de água e tempo de encanamento de água. A estimativa espacial foi obtida por krigagem indicadora e ordinária. O ajuste dos modelos foi avaliado por meio de validação cruzada. Os quatro modelos ajustados de semivariogramas do desfecho e das três variáveis sócio-econômicas apresentaram um padrão isotrópico; mapas do risco estimado segundo a krigagem para hepatite A e para as variáveis sócio-econômicas foram construídos; a validação cruzada mostrou um bom ajuste. A utilização do método de estimativa espacial usando-se a krigagem possibilitou a detecção de áreas com maior probabilidade de ocorrência da hepatite A, independentemente da divisão político-administrativa dos setores censitários.
This study estimated hepatitis A risk areas in a region of Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. A cross-sectional study consisting of a hepatitis A serological survey and a household survey were conducted in 19 census tracts. Of these, 11 tracts were selected and 1,298 children from one to ten years of age were included in the study. Geostatistical techniques allowed modeling the spatial continuity of hepatitis A, non-use of filtered drinking water, time since installation of running water, and number of water taps per household and their spatial estimation through ordinary and indicator kriging. Adjusted models for the outcome and socioeconomic variables were isotropic; risk maps were constructed; cross-validation of the four models was satisfactory. Spatial estimation using the kriging method detected areas with increased risk of hepatitis A, independently of the urban administrative area in which the census tracts were located.
