Study on Dengue Hemorrhage Fever distribution in relation to weather and population factorsBackground: Dengue Hemorrhage Fever (DHF) is an epidemic communicable disease negatively affecting human health and socio-economic situation in Southeast Asia countries, including Vietnam. Khanh Hoa has been one of currently epidemic DHF provinces in recent years with highest cases of DHF in the region. Study on DHF distribution in relation to weather and population factors will help providing surveillance and prediction tool for occurrence of this disease.
Objectives: (1) To examine distribution pattern of DHF at district level of the province in the 10-year period (2004-2013); (2) examine the association between DHF cases and weather factors (temperature, humidity, rain fall, wind speed) and population density; and (3) develop prediction models appropriate to each district in the province.
Methods: Linear regression was used to examine the association between DHF cases and weather and population factors. SARIMA (Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) models were applied to analyze DHF distribution pattern and develop prediction tools for each district. Results: Highest cases of DHF occurred in Nha Trang City and Ninh Hoa Town. DHF distribution patterns were different among districts. There were significant association between increasing DHF cases with increasing average temperature (2-3 months lags), humidity and wind speed (1 month lag) and average rain fall (2 months forward). SARIMA models were suitable for surveillance and prediction tools for DHF in Khanh Hoa Province. Conclusions: There existed significant associations between weather factors and development and increase in DHF cases in Khanh Hoa province. These were different among districts. Compared to regression model, SARIMA was a valuable model in surveying and predicting DHF cases that needs to be specific according to different districts of the Province. Key words: Dengue Hemorrhage Fever, Linear Regression, SARIMA, prediction model
