Table 1 Summary of spatial SIDS cluster detection analysis by different models
From: Spatially varying effects of measured confounding variables on disease risk
Risk | Models | |
|---|---|---|
Generalized pattern recognition procedure | Spatial scan statistic | |
Higher rates | 1.Northeast (6 counties: 5 Level-H1 and 1 Level-H2) with combined incidence of 4.98 2.South (6 counties: 1 Level-H1 and 5 Level-H2) with combined incidence of 4.06 3.Mid-East (6 counties: 1 Level-H1 and 5 Level-H3) with combined incidence of 3.09 | 1.Most likely disease cluster in the northeast (4 counties) with combined incidence of 5.12 2.Secondary disease cluster in the south (6 counties) with combined incidence of 3.76 |
Lower rates | 1.Northwest (6 counties: 4 Level-L1 and 2 Level-L2) with combined incidence of 0.28 2.Mid-West (9 counties: 1 Level-L1 and 8 Level-L2) with combined incidence of 0.70 3.East (3 counties: 3 Level-L1) with combined incidence of 0.0 | 1.Most likely disease cluster in the mid-west (14 counties) with combined incidence of 1.10 |
