Disease mapping
Disease maps help understand the spatial patterns of disease and itsdeterminants. This information can guide decision makers andprogramme managers to better allocate limited resources and todesign strategies for disease prevention and control

Types of spatial data
1. Areal data 2. Geostatistical data 3. Point patterns

Modelling
• Disease risk predictions are based on the observed diseasecases, the number of individuals at risk, and risk factorsinformation such as demographic and environmental factors
• Models describe the variability in the response variable as afunction of the risk factors covariates and random effects toaccount for unexplained variability

Areal dataDisease risk is often estimated by the Standardized Mortality Ratio:
SMR = Y
E
• Y number of observed cases• E number of expected cases if the study population had the
same disease rate as the standard population• SMR > 1: more cases observed than expected
• Expected cases calculated using indirect standardization
E =m∑
j=1r
(s)j nj
• r(s)j =(number of events)/(number of individuals at risk). Ratein strata j (e.g. age group, sex) in the standard population
• nj population in stratum j of the observed population9/34
Areal data
• SMRs may be misleading and insufficiently reliable in areaswith small populations
• In contrast, model-based approaches enable to incorporatecovariates and borrow information from neighboring areas toimprove local estimates, resulting in the smoothing of extremerates based on small sample sizes

Areal data
Model to estimate disease risks θi in areas i = 1, . . . , n
Yi|θi ∼ Po(Ei × θi),
log(θi) = z′iβ + ui + vi
• ui is an structured spatial effect to account for the spatialdependence between relative risks (areas that are close showmore similar risk than areas that are not close)
• vi is an unstructured spatial effect to account for independentarea-specific noise

Geostatistical data
Yi|P (xi) ∼ Binomial(Ni, P (xi)),logit(P (xi)) = z′
iβ + S(xi) + vi
Risk factors covariates(e.g. temperature, precipitation, vegetation, etc)

Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS)
1 unprojected or geographic: Latitude/Longitude forreferencing location on the ellipsoid Earth
2 projected: Easting/Northing for referencing location on2-dimensional representation of Earth. Common projection:Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)

Interactive dashboards with flexdashboard
• https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/flexdashboard/• Uses R Markdown to publish a group of related data
visualizations as a dashboard• Components that can be included include plots, tables, value
boxes and htmlwidgets

Interactive Shiny web applications
• https://shiny.rstudio.com/• Shiny is a web application framework for R that enables to
build interactive web applications
25/34
SpatialEpiApp
26/34
R package SpatialEpiApp
• Shiny web application that allows to visualize spatial andspatio-temporal disease data, estimate disease risk and detectclusters
• Risk estimates by fitting Bayesian models with INLA• Detection of clusters by using the scan statistics in SaTScan
Launch SpatialEpiApp:
install.packages("SpatialEpiApp")library(SpatialEpiApp)run_app()
