Abstract:
|
Spatial cluster detection has become an important methodology in quantifying the effect of hazardous exposures. Previous methods have focused on outcomes that are binary or continuous. However, there are no spatial cluster detection methods proposed for repeated measured outcomes. This paper proposes a method using cumulative geographic residuals through a permutation test for repeated measured outcomes. A major advantage of this method is its ability to readily incorporate information on study participants relocation, which most cluster detection statistics cannot. Application of these methods will be illustrated by the Home Allergens and Asthma prospective cohort study analyzing the relationship between environmental exposures and repeated measured outcome, persistent wheezing in the last six months, while taking into account moving.
