Common error in disease mapping Print E-mail
Thursday, 28 October 2010 08:52

Abstract: Many morbid--moty atlases and small-area studies have been carried out over the last decade. Hwever, the methods user to draw up such research, the interpretation of results and the conclusions published are often inaccurate. Often, the proliferation of this practice has led to inefficient decision-making, implementation of inappropiate health policies and negative impact on the advancement of scientific knowledge. This paper reviews the most frewuent errors in the design, analysis and interpretation of small-area epidemiological studies and proposes a diagnostic evaluation test that should enable the scientific quality of published papers to be ascertained.
