Comparison of Spatial and Conventional Regression Models in Determination of Trachoma Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors
Author(s): Pius Kipngetich Kirui, Benson Kipkemboi Kenduiywo and Edward Hunja Waithaka
Trachoma is a neglected tropical disease and leading infectious cause of blindness, In Kenya it accounts for 19% of blindness. Past research on associated risk factors in Kenya have relied on traditional impact survey data only however non uniform distribution of prevalence in suspected endemic areas despite similar interventions measures calls for the need to include environmental and climatic potential risk factors in modeling trachoma transmission. Our study therefore aims at determining the prevalence of trachoma and its associated risks factors by use of spatial regression models in variable selection, estimation and prediction compared to conventional regression models. Through use of data from tra... view more»
