Volksgezondheids toegevoegde waarde van GIS/ruimtelijke analyse bij enkele infectieziekten.

Wilfrid van Pelt, Agnetha Hofhuis, Ingrid Friesema, Jan van de Kassteele en vele vele anderen

1. Een simpele vorm van clustering in ruimte en tijd geimplementeerd in 1999 met een internet interface, van 1000 salmonella types voor wekelijkse signalering en retrospectieve inspectie.

2. Eenvoudige ecologische analyse van de ziekte van Lyme bij NL huisartsen (1995, 2001 en 2006).

3. Eerste test van een Bayesiaanse analyse van regionale dichtheid van runderen, kippen en varkens en het voorkomen van patienten met STEC (1999-2006).

Outbreak detectie door het vinden van clusters in regio & tijd bij

Salmonella


Algorithm for detection of outbreaks Prospectively expected frequencies and tolerances

• Optimising sensitivity and specificityNot miss outbreaks but also not too much false alarms

• time-geography and time-age clusters and demographic aberrations


Intranet Catalogue / Atlas since Mai 1998

• human/ animal/ food/ environment• All sero and phagetypes• Resistance

• Actual trends, Early Warning, GIS-clusters

Each week backcalculated starting in 1984

• >10.000 Tables and Figures

How to detect clusters in space


• Methode is simpel, werkt goed en test duizenden potentiële clusters in enkele minuten

Ja, maar, regio’s verschillen toch in bevolkingsdichtheid?

• Klopt!! Maar dat heeft v.n.l. invloed op de grootte en het aantal clusters in een regio.

Lyme disease in the NetherlandsAgnetha Hofhuis & Wilfrid van Pelt and many others


Lyme disease in Europe is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato group;

B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii

Transmission of Lyme disease

Transmission by the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus).


Lyme disease Early local infection:

erythema migrans (EM) 75 - 90% of B. burgdorferi infections Early disseminated infection:

manifestations in nervous system, skin, joints and heart Chronic Lyme borreliosis…


retrospective studies among general practitioners (GP’s) ? Incidence of tick bites and erythema migrans

? Geographical distribution in the Netherlands

? Ecological risk factors for tick bites and erythema migrans

retrospective analysis of hospital admissions for Lyme disease? Occurrence of hospital admissions for Lyme disease

? Seasonal and annual trends in hospital admissions for Lyme disease

collecting ticks in 4 different biotopes? Density of ticks & infection rate of ticks with Borrelia

? Seasonal & annual trends

Studies on Lyme disease in the Netherlands


All (± 8.000) general practitioners (GP’s) in 1995, 2002 & 2006received pre-coded questionnaire about previous year

1. How many patients with tick bites have you seen?

2. How many erythema migrans case-patients have you seen?

3. How many people are included in your practice population?

Ehrlichia, Babesia, Rickettsia. Serology and clinical aspects after a

tick bite or erythema migrans. Case-control study: risk factors for tick

bites and erythema migrans. In 2007 and 2008 200 GPs selected in

hotspot areas for tick bitesand erythema migrans consultations.

Aims

Accurate incidence figures across Europe for Lyme disease- regional comparison and analysis of regional risk factors

Feasibility of setting up a network of GPs across Europe- answer simple health care questions with a high response- with respect to a known denominator population.

Internet GIS-tool for questioning of physicians- immediately mapping and feeding back the results to GP

First WINBUGS-modelling attempt (1 week work) succeeded, but needs refinement

WinBUGS model called from R using R2WinBUGS library seems elegant

Seasonality, year are not included in the model as yet

Stratified analysis for age and season probably necessary to clearly show the effect of cattle density

Clearly other unknown regional effects are involved
