Risk factor model for pulmonary tuberculosis occurrence in Makassar using spatial approach

Objective: To investigate the distribution of pulmonary TB cases and develop a risk factor model for pulmonary TB occurrence in Makassar using Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) approach. Method: This research was observational analytic using case control method to develop a risk factor model for pulmonary tuberculosis occurrence with SAR. The sample was 368 people consisting of 182 cases and 186 control. Results: The results indicate that there is relation between pulmonary tuberculosis occurrence in one location and another (spatial effect). Variables that are related to the disease occurrence are: occupancy density as well as humidity and lighting of house environment. Meanwhile, variables that are not related to the disease occurrence are: temperature and history of contact with tuberculosis. Conclusion: The risk factor model for pulmonary tuberculosis occurrence was (SAR): Y = - 1.212 - 0.185 Sigma(n)(j=1, i not equal j) w(ij)y(i) + 0.28 occupancy density + 0.31 humidity + 0.44 lighting + 0.09 tempeeature - 0.24 history of contact.
