          Abstract

          Estudos mostram que a localização espacial dos eventos em saúde e os Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG), têm papel destacado e vêm se tornando mais freqüentes na literatura da área de saúde pública. Entretanto, os métodos e software necessários ao aprofundamento desta abordagem ainda apresentam limitações devido à dificuldade de uso e desconhecimento dos pesquisadores e profissionais da área. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar algumas aplicações exemplares de métodos voltados para a análise de padrões espaciais de eventos em saúde, discutindo vantagens, desvantagens e aplicabilidade dos modelos propostos, particularmente no campo dos estudos ecológicos e na análise do uso de serviços de saúde, além de sistematizar o estado da arte da utilização de metodologias de análise espacial na saúde pública.

          Translated abstract

          Studies in which spatial distribution and geographic information systems (GIS) play a central role are becoming more common in the public health literature. However, methods and software to implement such approaches still pose serious limitations, due to unfriendliness and lack of integration. Additionally, most researchers and public health professionals are not familiar with either the techniques or the software. The aim of this work, besides presenting a systematic review of spatial analysis in health, is to discuss some representative applications of methods that deal with the analysis of spatial patterns of health events, analyzing advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of the proposed models in ecological and health services utilization studies.

            Public health, GIS, and spatial analytic tools.

            We review literature that uses spatial analytic tools in contexts where Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the organizing system for health data or where the methods discussed will likely be incorporated in GIS-based analyses in the future. We conclude the review with the point of view that this literature is moving toward the development and use of systems of analysis that integrate the information geo-coding and data base functions of GISystems with the geo-information processing functions of GIScience. The rapidity of this projected development will depend on the perceived needs of the public health community for spatial analysis methods to provide decision support. Recent advances in the analysis of disease maps have been influenced by and benefited from the adoption of new practices for georeferencing health data and new ways of linking such data geographically to potential sources of environmental exposures, the locations of health resources and the geodemographic characteristics of populations. This review focuses on these advances.
