Abstract:

Aim: to analyze the possible relation of social indicators on the spatial distribution of ZIKV cases in a state of Northeast Brazil during 2015-2016 biennium. Methods: an ecological study with dataZIKV case reports and sociodemographic indicatorsRio Grande do Norte’s state (RN), calculatedPublic Health Departament of RN and DATASUS. The data were analyzed in Terraview version 4.2.2, GeoDa version 1.12 and IBM SPSS Statistics 21. Results: Both, the Mean Incidence Rate (MIR) of ZIKV cases in the 2015-2016 biennium (Moran = 0.239, p = 0.02), mean income (Moran = 0.344, p = 0.01) and unemployment rate (Moran = 0.231, p = 0.01) obeyed a geographical pattern of spatial distribution. In the multiple linear regression analysis, the MIR of violence and mean income explained 55% of the MIR of ZIKV in the 2015-2016 biennium (adjusted R2 = 0.55). Conclusion: Municipalities with more reports of violence and favorable mean income, such as the capital, hold higher MIR of ZYKV cases, possibly mediated by better organization, greater clarity on social and environmental problems and more sensitive health services notification.
